The Howard Fishman Quartet made its formal debut at the Algonquin in 1999, beginning with a two-week stand that turned into a nine-month residency.  Writing for the New York Times, Stephen Holden wrote that "the band recombines familiar ingredients to form its own brand of classicism [that] transcends time and idiom."

HFQ Vol. III, Howard's tenth album, reunited him with members of the original HOWARD FISHMAN QUARTET including (pictured, left to right: Andrew Hall, Peter Ecklund and Russell Farhang).  All four will be on hand for the Algonquin show on 9/25. Get your tickets now!
