…”when I began playing the guitar, I was drawn to great rock and blues improvisers like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. My enthusiasm prompted a couple of my teachers to suggest I check out Wes Montgomery and Pat Metheny. When I started listening to those guys, I made it my mission to play like them. I really wasn’t sure how to start, so I began just learning some of their solos. I remember playing along with Pat’s solo on “Minuano (Six-Eight)” over and over again without having much of a clue what was going on theoretically. I just wanted to feel what it was like to execute something like that on the guitar. 

All of this is to say that I’ve always been drawn to the act of musical improvisation. I still think it is one of the most mysterious and wonderful things that human beings do.  “ - Andrew Friedrich interview with Jazz Guitar Today

Split Second is a four-piece ensemble featuring the compositions of Christian Nicoll. Bringing intricate counter melodies but danceable grooves to Seattle. Split features the playing of Dowon Kim, Paul Eschbach, and Eric Tran.
