WE THREE is a delight for the ears… Lieb’s very first apprenticeship gig was in 1969 with guitarist Pete LaRocca, Chick Cora and Steve Swallow. Nussbaum, the drummer, was in the Dave Liebman Quintet with John Scofield in late ’70s. The trio of long-time friends plays straight forward jazz at a high level, playing many of Steve Swallow’s most famous and classic compositions. We3 is Dave Liebman on saxophones, flutes, and Steve Swallow on electric bass; Adam Nussbaum on drums; and all three are veterans who are willing to push themselves beyond their comfort zones. We3’s music has the relaxed amiability and good-natured push that comes from decades of friendship. New York City Jazz Record
