Quartet West is an album by the American jazz bassist Charlie Haden, recorded in 1986 and released on the Verve label.[1]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Stacia Proefrock stated: "While the album may not be stretching many boundaries stylistically, this format does little to dilute Haden's impressive performances, and his love for this material is made obvious with his intricate arrangements".[2]
