Noah Howard Quartet - live in Sweden 2000



Here is a short excerpt from a concert given in Sweden. Obviously taken from a radio programme with a short presentation (in Swedish), this has about 2-3 pieces in the quartet format which to this listener is particularly significant as it probably is one of the few occasions we get to hear Bobby Few reunited with his old chum from the legendary Noah Howard and Frank Wright records from the 70s. Very timely, to say the least.

No titles here, but the first two pieces are quite familiar, but I can't quite recall the titles right now. Another item off the Dime network, so heartfelt thanks are extended to those responsible for capturing the broadcast and spreading it wider.
