Cuber Libre

Cuber Libre

A solidly swinging 1976 quartet date, Cuber Libre is baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber's debut release as a leader. Although he's known for playing with soul jazz greats like George Benson, Mongo Santamaria and Dr. Lonnie Smith, as well as many Steely Dan cuts, this session finds him among a top-notch bop trio of Barry Harris on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Albert Tootie Heath on drums. Throughout this bop-oriented date, Cuber shows why he has been considered one of the top masters of the baritone during the past 20 years.
