Pendulum – The David Liebman Quintet – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

“Pendulum” stands as a striking testament to the fearless spirit of post-bop jazz in the late 1970s. Recorded live at the renowned Village Vanguard, this album finds saxophonist David Liebman and his quintet pushing the boundaries of jazz improvisation with kinetic interplay and daring spontaneity. Liebman, alongside Richie Beirach (piano), Frank Tusa (bass), Al Foster (drums), and Randy Brecker (trumpet), crafts a soundscape where blistering technique meets raw emotional honesty. The performances here are unfiltered—each track a living document of the quintet’s restless creativity, refusing to settle for the predictable. What makes “Pendulum” especially compelling is its unvarnished capture of the band’s chemistry; you can almost feel the tension and release in the room as they navigate labyrinthine harmonies and uncharted rhythmic territory. For collectors and jazz devotees, this album is more than a live recording—it’s a snapshot of a pivotal moment in jazz history, where tradition and innovation collided with electrifying results. “Pendulum” is essential listening for anyone drawn to the genre’s more adventurous frontiers, offering both a challenging and deeply rewarding experience.
