Is Richie Beirach the best kept secret of piano jazz? Together wirth Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette he played in the band of Stan Getz. He worked with Chet Baker and John Abercromby. And he shares a very special musical friendship with Dave Liebman.

Until the age of 13 Richie was strictly devoted to classical music but then “Billy Boy” from Miles Davis` album “Milestones” changed his life and he became addicted to Jazz. The passion for Jazz together with his classical training turned his virtuoso style into an autonomous musical language, fresh and sensual, vibrating with energy and incredible deep meaning.

As a teenager, when he first caught sight (and sound) of John Coltrane playing at New York’s famous Birdland Club, David Liebman fell instantly in love with jazz. A virtuoso on the soprano sax, and an innovative composer, Lieb’s attachment to jazz has always been something more than musical. The spirit behind the music and the community of musicians and listeners all figure into his life in jazz.

Dave Liebman and Richie Beirach have known each other for forty years. They don’t need to talk to understand one another, notes suffice. They get along harmoniously. Their bond dates back to the sixties when they played together in the group “Lookout Farm” led by Dave Liebman. It became stronger still when they set up “Quest”, an almost legendary formation composed of Ron McClure and Billy Hart, as well as Dave and Richie. The electricity between the two was such that they decided to record three duos together (“Double Edge”, “The duo live” & “Omerta”). Fascinated by the art of working together as a team – with each person contributing his part towards achieving a common goal – they decided to attempt the exercise of the duo with others: Dave with drummer Wolfgang Reisinger, percussionist Ravy Magnifique and the pianists Marc Copland and Phil Markovitz; Richie with trombone player Conrad Herwig and guitarist John Abercrombie. It goes without saying that both enjoy listening to the other which is the golden rule of playing in a duo. Their complicity is such that it does not require words; it is tacit which totally justifies the album’s name: “Unspoken”. In this album, Dave Liebman and Richie Beirach let go of all constraints to create a harmony that pleasures the ears. They give time to time and take turns playing their music, Richie on the piano and Dave on tenor and soprano saxophone or traditional wooden flute. Whatever repertoire they choose – be it a personal theme, a jazz standard or even a piece by Armenian classical music composer Aram Khatchatourian – their symbiosis is as plain as day. Dave Liebman and Richie Beirach’s “Unspoken” is a message of serenity and humanity.

On the occasion of the 75th birthday of jazz legend Richie Beirach in May 2022, we are releasing a 3-CD box set that captures the musical work of siblings Gregor and Veit Hübner, who have been working together with the US jazz pianist for almost 25 years. It is a true gift to the growing musical partnership and friendship, which Dave Liebman describes as follows: “Truly a family affair with two brothers, Gregor, Veit and “Uncle” Richie! This music transverses 20th century and jazz. You can hear the brotherhood especially on the “free” pieces. Listening to the variety of idioms the performances are both intimate and soulful, performed by musicians who know the history.”

TESTAMENTS – DUOS AND TRIOS is a chronicle of the musical relationships of these three musical personalities. The material on these 3 CDs is a combination of short classical pieces with extensive improvisation, jazz standards, show tunes, completely free improvisations and our own compositions.
