VEIN & Dave Liebman - Jazz Talks

Since VEIN was founded, the Swiss trio has regularly joined forces with guest musicians in horizon-expanding and ground breaking projects. They have now come together again, forming an equally exciting and unconventional quartet with Dave Liebman, the great saxophonist with whom VEIN have been performing since 2009.

This is the meeting point for four musicians who go way back, knowing precisely that they make a great musical match. Just as the trio has created an almost symbiotic interplay - by bringing together its background, its stupendous musical togetherness and its concept of maximum equality for all members - it never fails to find an incredibly inspiring addition in Dave Liebman.

Liebman, with his distinctive and modern style that is always respectful of tradition, is one of the most important saxophonists of today's jazz scene. He masterfully moves through the groove-heavy, lyrical, rhythmically and harmonically complex and open pieces and passages of the quartet's repertoire, which mainly consists of their own compositions.

Personnel: Michael Arbenz (piano), Thomas L�hns (bass), Florian Arbenz (drums), Dave Liebman (saxophone)
