Broken Time from QUINT5T by Marc Copland

Over the years all members of QUINT5T have been bandleaders. Joey Baron is no exception, and his tunes clearly demonstrate that this drummer knows how to employ harmony and melody in a tune just as well as he deploys rhythm on his instrument. Alessi, Liebman and Copland all stretch out in swinging fashion, with the composer churning supportively underneath, before taking the tune home. Check out Gress's work as the tune ends.

Marc Copland, recognized for his unique style, is a prolific jazz pianist and composer. A longtime resident of New York, he was a close collaborator for nearly a half century with both John Abercrombie and Gary Peacock.. He has released almost 40 lead and solo albums since 1988, and has been a sideman on dozens more.
