Long-Absent Free-Jazz Gem Reappears
Review of Marzette Watts: Marzette Watts & Company (ESP-Disk)
Saxophonist David Liebman and pianist Richie Beirach have been working together at least since 1973, in the band Lookout Farm. Later they reteamed in the band Quest, and have had many duo collaborations as well. Fortunately for New Yorkers, the Brooklyn-born friends have in recent years made it a habit to get back together for a concert every February. Though that has usually been in the form of Quest, this year it was a duo at this intimate and much-loved Greenwich Village venue.
