LIEBMAN / SWALLOW / NUSSBAUM – Three Jazz Giants with a program of originals and standards! The intimacy of the trio setting gives everyone big exposure, and the fact that there is no harmony instrument provides lots of freedom for Liebman. the Album: We Three“ is a treat for the ears, 12 songs by three of jazz’ strongest players. The group combines decades of experience, friendship and the player’s mutual respect and affection radiates through the music’s easy grace. Amazing Album !
