Live at the Village Vanguard is a Tom Harrell album recorded for RCA with Harrell's then quintet and released in 2002. The band included Jimmy Greene on tenor sax, Ugonna Okegwo on bass, Xavier Davis on piano and Quincy Davis on drums. This is Harrell's first live album.[1] A JazzTimes review called the album "a worthy addition to the library of recordings made at the Vanguard".[4] With the exception of the 1940 standard "Everything Happens to Me", the album consists of mostly new compositions.[4]
