David Weiss and the Point of Departure Quintet June 16, 2010

The late 1960s were a turbulent but exciting time for jazz. The Point of Departure Quintet is re-examining some of the most innovative music of the period, some of it neglected, some, perhaps, never quite as developed as it could have been. Weiss introduces some of the finest young musicians on the scene today, bassists Ameen Saleem and Luques Curtis, guitarist Nir Felder and drummers Jamire Williams, Justin Brown and Darrell Green.
