Mosaic Select 32: Pendulum Live at the Village Vanguard

Read "Mosaic Select 32: Pendulum Live at the Village Vanguard" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

These days a collection of artists--no matter how strong--getting together for a largely standards-based date is often treated with some suspicion. With so many jazz recordings being released every month revolving around an increasingly well-heeled (but, nevertheless, still important) repertoire from The Great American Songbook or legacy jazz artists like pianist Thelonious Monk and saxophonists John ...

David Liebman & Ellery Eskelin: Renewal

Read "Renewal" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

Renewal is the brilliant follow-up to Different But The Same (Hatology, 2003), the debut of saxophonists Dave Liebman and Ellery Eskelin's co-led quartet. Initially perceived as a curious pairing, with Liebman the conservative elder to Eskelin's liberal youth, the two tenors actually share numerous aesthetic similarities, including an affinity for both inside and outside playing. Although ...

Saxophone Summit: Joe Lovano, Dave Liebman, Ravi Coltrane: Seraphic Light

Read "Seraphic Light" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Formed in the mid-1990s by three of jazz's leading post-Coltrane exponents--not just to pay homage to the saxophone legend's exploratory latter period work, but to advance his collaborative and collective soloing aesthetic into a fully contemporary context nearly thirty years after his death--Saxophone Summit was dealt a tremendous blow, as was the entire jazz world, when ...

David Liebman & Ellery Eskelin: Renewal

Read "Renewal" reviewed by Chris May

by Chris May

When saxophonists Dave Liebman and Ellery Eskelin got together to make Different But The Same (Hatology, 2003), it seemed a strange partnership--Liebman, the Jedi master of structure and changes, and Eskelin, best known for gutsy free improv. But the album title proved to have been well chosen, and the two players showed that a lot more ...

Saxophonist David Liebman and Pianist Jim Ridl Discuss The Creative Process in Jazz at AAJ

Saxophonist David Liebman and Pianist Jim Ridl Discuss The Creative Process in Jazz at AAJ

Unlike most other art forms, jazz creativity emerges directly in performance through improvisation. Every jazz performance is unique and comes together in real time while it is being played. Each moment is an original contribution, and not merely an interpretation. It is clear that some musicians push the envelope more than others. They take necessary risks ...

David Liebman /Jim Ridl: The Creative Process in Jazz

Read "David Liebman /Jim Ridl: The Creative Process in Jazz" reviewed by Victor L. Schermer

by Victor L. Schermer

The idea for this interview came to me when I became aware of two aspects of jazz as a creative, artistic process. First, unlike most other art forms, jazz creativity emerges directly in performance through improvisation. Every jazz performance is unique and comes together in real time while it is being played. Each moment is an ...
