Quest is nominally a cooperative band which includes saxophonist <a href="spotify:artist:429bUEZe2Hq5QJvO2CmhLn">Dave Liebman</a>, pianist <a href="spotify:artist:3AYoHrPhmpKwXL4beH0wCn">Richie Beirach</a>, drummer <a href="spotify:artist:5DFipPOMNcZT3XMGx59s5I">Billy Hart</a>, and, at various times, bassists <a href="spotify:artist:6o1OpKGBkE7eSYjtaMfQKe">George Mraz</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6RK29G5At2xKQBDqZV960u">Ron McClure</a>. As befitting the catholic skills of its straw boss, <a href="spotify:artist:429bUEZe2Hq5QJvO2CmhLn">Liebman</a>, the group's range is exceptionally broad. The individual members are comfortable in all of modern jazz's guises, but the band's collective strength lies in the realm of post-<a href="spotify:artist:0oKYiTD5CdNbrofRvM1dIr">Coltrane</a> modality. The band's eponymous named first album was recorded in 1981 for Palo Alto with <a href="spotify:artist:6o1OpKGBkE7eSYjtaMfQKe">Mraz</a> on bass; later efforts include 1986's Quest II and 1988's Natural Selection, both with <a href="spotify:artist:6RK29G5At2xKQBDqZV960u">McClure</a>. The 1990 CMP album Of One Mind emphasizes the band's affinity for creative free improvisation. In general, Quest's music reflects a creative empathy shared by its members; the close rapport enjoyed by <a href="spotify:artist:429bUEZe2Hq5QJvO2CmhLn">Liebman</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3AYoHrPhmpKwXL4beH0wCn">Beirach</a> stems from a musical relationship that goes back more than two decades. The assuredness with which Quest goes about its business results in a music of great depth and intensity. ~ Chris Kelsey, Rovi
