THE QUINTET AT THE VANGUARD by Dave Liebman

The accompanying notes aptly describe the occasion of this “one-off” gig at the famed New York club, the Village Vanguard. Suffice to say, these special nights with Randy Brecker and Al Foster in particular represent a nod to the tradition as we interpreted it at the time. This is JAZZ, pure and simple with no agenda—kind of a very high level jam session!
