Reception
Writing for All About Jazz, Mark Corroto observed "Friedlander seems to be opening his music to jazz and no-jazz fans. Much like Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden's open arm approach to jazz that can swallow both country and classical, Friedlander is pushing his vision into the open ended world defined simply as music".Corroto, M. All About Jazz Review, October 25, 2008. On the same site Troy Collins noted "A tireless artist, always open to expanding the acoustic cello language, Broken Arm Trio is one of Friedlander's most refreshing and vibrant efforts".Collins, T. All About Jazz Review, October 22, 2008. A.D. Amorosi stated in JazzTimes that "it’s gorgeous, soulful and smart".Amorosi, A. D., JazzTimes review, JazzTimes, March 2009
