Charlie Haden - Quartet West (1987)

Creative expression is a passion inside the human being and is not limited by geographical location. Throughout my career, I have played music with dedicated musicians from many different countries... this has contributed to my growth as a human being. This album is called "Quartet West" because it was recorded in Los Angeles with musicians from diverse backgrounds who now reside in Los Angeles. Billy Higgins and I have been playing music together in many different contexts since we were teenagers. Since moving from New York to the West Coast in 1979, I have had the good fortune to meet and play music with Ernie Watts and Alan Broadbent. I want to thank these three special musicians for the depth and spontaneity that they bring to this music and all those that helped make this album possible.(Charlie Haden)
