Metamorphosis (Don Friedman album)


Metamorphosis is the fifth album by pianist Don Friedman which was recorded in 1966 and released on the Prestige label.

Reception

awarded the album 4½ stars with its review by Michael G. Nastos stating, "For Friedman's fifth recording, he is definitely exploring the progressive edges of modern mainstream post-bop... Certainly Friedman challenges listeners with this music, but he also challenges his own abilities and concepts. For the time period, it is one of the most vital, original, progressive statements, and one that, after all these years, retains a timeless freshness that bears not only a second listening, but consideration as a creative music hallmark.".
