 The Joe LaBarbera Quintet | Live!
Stung too often by inscrutable contracts and creative bookkeeping, a growing number of jazz musicians are taking matters into their own hands, producing and distributing albums on their own independent labels as an alternative to the bondage in which they’ve long been held by corporate overseers.

In fact, LaBarbera solos at length only on “Q.T.,” which he introduces with an exciting two-and-one-half-minute enfilade that prefaces cogent remarks by Cunliffe, Sheppard (tenor) and Jenkins.
