Partnerships in music are very special things. NEA Master and saxophonist Dave Liebman along with pianist Richie Beirach have been connected through music for nearly five decades, most notably as members of the jazz collective Quest. Known for their wide range of expression from intense burning jazz to lyrical ballads along with re-arrangements of standard tunes, always with a singular personality. Their musical empathy with one another allows for near telepathy, making the music unpredictable.

„Every concert is a birth. We love to play with each other and for the people. I never did understand just why the Taliban or other authoritarian groups ban music, but now I know as a result of listening to these powerful and extremely EXPRESSIVE live concerts. It’s because the INDIVIDUAL expression of each musician in the group comes across front and center. Fascists cannot STAND individual ANYTHING. It goes against their stone-age brutally inhumane way of controlling people by fear and death. What REALLY scares them is that it’s not just an individual expression but truly GROUP expression….remember that “group” means more than ONE person, like possibly FOUR people playing together along with many people LISTEN- ING with their hearts and minds OPEN. Music, when honestly presented is pure truth.

Get four more people and it’s a small insurgent group. Then it’s a quick leap to forty people with opened minds and hearts demanding their basic human rights. Quest is the quintessential enemy of any kind of bullshit, oppression or attempt at destroying the human spirit as evidenced in ANY good music. In this strange period of seemingly dwindling interest and support for truly new and powerful contemporary jazz, we hopefully can always count on people who love great music and continue to make Quest relevant and a great listening experience for years to come.“
Richie Beirach, 2016
