Recorded live at The Jazzschool in Berkeley, this disc brings together a great band co-led by Michael Zilber and his mentor, jazz legend Dave Liebman. The band also features Paul Nagel on piano, John Shifflett on bass, and Scott Amendola on drums. From Andrew Gilbert’s liner notes:
“Rather than facing off in a saxophone duel, Liebman and Zilber address each other as fervent interlocuters, occasionally elaborating on each other’s phrases or commenting on a display of wit… It’s jazz at its freshest, an instructive display of saxophone virtuosity by musicians who are equally adept at imparting musical knowledge offstage.”
