Mosaic Select 32: Pendulum Live at the Village Vanguard
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

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.

Although ...

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
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
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.
