Dave Liebman and his group Lookout Farm will be staying the week at the Jazz Workshop. When Liebman first started attracting attention with some fine tenor work on Elvin Jones's Live at the Lighthouse, Jones had the audacity to claim that Liebman would be the heir to Coltrane. He's not, but he's damn good, and if his group doesn't play with an overdose of electricity then this saxophonist/music teacher will present a fine weekend jazz alternative.

A tremendous series of jazz albums is coming out of Copenhagen featuring Dexter Gordon, Kenny Drew and a couple of great Danish performers. They are under the Steeplechase label and seem to provide the logical link to the pre-electric era of the 1960s. Perhaps the finest of the series is the two-record collection The Meeting and The Source with Jackie McLean sitting in on alto with Dexter on tenor. Dexter's The Apartment has some excellent moments also. Dexter fled the U.S. because nobody appreciated his greatness. Fortunately, he's back to haunt us.
