David Liebmam: The Distance Runner
by John Kelman
The Distance Runner is not saxophonist Dave Liebman's first solo recording--he's released a handful of them over his forty year career, including the exceptional The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner (CMP, 1985). But his latest release is something special, as it documents his first-ever live solo performance, at Switzerland's 2004 Willisau Jazz Festival--an entirely different ...
Dave Liebman & Phil Markowitz: Manhattan Dialogues
by Andrew Velez
The opener on Manhattan Dialogues, most of which is composed by David Liebman, is his own “Teacher of Our Child. It's a comfortably melancholy rumination, yet more suggestive of the early hours of a morning after than of a kindergarten. By contrast, “7 only fleetingly lands on traditional melodic structure. Here Liebman (soprano and tenor saxophone) ...
Dave Liebman: Picture Show / Different but the Same
by Donald Elfman
Dave Liebman, on two very different recordings, shows himself to be both a master of his instruments and a sonic explorer of the deepest intensity. Of course, this is no new revelation--from his work with Miles Davis and Elvin Jones to his own often brilliant recordings, he has played with expanding the role of the reed ...
Dave Liebman Group: Conversation
by John Kelman
When an artist has as a wide musical viewpoint as saxophonist Dave Liebman, and has released so many albums in a 35-year career that touch on so many aspects of jazz--big band to solo, highly structured to free, acoustic to electric--one would think that there'd be little chance of surprise left. Wrong. Released in '03, Conversation--featuring ...
Steve Smith/Dave Liebman/Aydin Esen/Anthony Jackson: Flashpoint

You have to admire saxophonist Dave Liebman. With over fifty albums as a leader, he has built an impressive and varied body of work that has touched upon a wealth of styles.

David Liebman: Lieb Plays Wilder
by John Kelman
Saxophonist Dave Liebman has covered a lot of territory in a career now well into its fourth decade, but his approach has never resembled anything conventional. Much has been written about Liebman mining territory first explored by Coltrane; and in his expressionist approach that is nevertheless capable of rich subtlety, the lineage is clear. Towards the ...
Dave Liebman & Phil Markowitz: Manhattan Dialogues
by John Kelman
Most musicians are fortunate enough to find one musical partner where such shared simpatico exists that they can evolve in perfect tandem--exploring a variety of contexts with the kind of comfort level that ensures complete trust and an unfettered imagination that makes no pursuit beyond reach. To find more than one is rare indeed. Saxophonist Dave ...
Live Recordings 2005
by Mark F. Turner
The ambience and energy of live jazz is best experienced in person, but if you can't make the event to see your artist of interest, then these new recordings may be the next best thing. From varied settings, locals, and ensembles they give an audible glimpse of what live jazz has to offer. Terry Gibbs
Dave Liebman and Phil Markowitz: Manhattan Dialogues
by Dennis Hollingsworth
Dave Liebman and Phil Markowitz are no strangers to the jazz public, particularly as members of the New York scene. Actively performing and recording together for over ten years, their longevity continues a pattern favored by Liebman. Pianist Richie Bierach was Liebman's longtime collaborator in the '70s and '80s.
