Chimera is the 1995 debut album by cellist Erik Friedlander which was released on the Japanese Avant label.[1]

Reception[edit]

The JazzTimes review by Nancy Ann Lee stated "Containing highly imaginative, artistic chamber-jazz, Chimera finds these gifted musicians in tight, tonally colorful interactions and crackling solo moments that draw the most from their acoustic instruments. Everyone excels".[2]
