Woody Shaw Quartet's 'Live in Bremen 1983' was recorded live at Post Aula, in Bremen Germany on January 18, 1983. It's a rare and satisfying snapshot of trumpeter Shaw's second great quintet, formed in 1980 with pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Stafford James, and drummer Tony Reedus. Like all Elemental releases, this set was produced by Michael Cuscuna, who was a close friend of the late trumpeter during the last 15 years of his life.
