Recorded in November 1975
From the this listener's perspective, Forgotten Fantasies is an astonishing LP, an unheralded classic from the era.
It's also the first of many recorded duo collaborations featuring Liebman and Beirach, a pair who seem so telepathically connected that listeners sometimes only half-jokingly refer to them as "The Liebrach"!
All six tracks from the original LP appear below. I can't recommend this music strongly enough!
More Liebman & Beirach
For more of this duo's uncanny connection, check out Dave Liebman & Richie Beirach: Duo Live 1976 + 1990, released on Liebman's Vaju Productions label. Some of this music was originally released on the second disc of Liebman and Beirach's Mosaic Select: 12 set, but this download-only offering dramatically expands the amount of music. Half of the recordings in the set -- those from 1976 -- were made in Todd Barkan's Keystone Korner nightclub. The quality of the recorded sound is less than perfect, but the quiet intensity of the music makes it required listening for anyone who's interested in these artists.
