Toby Friedlander: Self

Quotes 

• Toby Friedlander : We were very lucky, because we have certain areas that we never even discussed, we just felt the same way about these areas and we proceeded with our life. One of them was Friday night. He doesn't play on a Friday night, he doesn't travel on a Friday night. I mean, I always make Shabbat. We never discussed it, it just was what we did, and of course we have our music in common, which, not that I'm in his league or class or anything like that, but I know something and we do well together. We talk about it, we live it, we dream it, you know, and still today, I know I'm very critical of his playing. Everybody who knows us knows that, but to me, when I hear that sound, when I hear that playing, it's like breathing, it's being alive.
