After almost fifteen years of the group's separation, Quest reemerged in 2005, with the release of "Redemption: Live in Europe", which documented highlights from two live performances in Switzerland and Paris. With this album, the group reestablished themselves as an innovative and intelligent force in jazz, composed of musicians who are able to pick up as if they never disbanded.
