Scott Dubois Quintet featuring David Liebman: Monsoon
by John Kelman
Sometimes a recording can be academically impressive, filled with strong intention and all the ingredients for greatness, yet not quite reach the soul. Such is the case with guitarist Scott Dubois' Soul Note début, Monsoon. Aside from his quintet of the past four years, the album also features saxophonist David Liebman, who taught Dubois at the ...

Tony Bianco/Dave Liebman/Tony Marino: Line Ish
by John Kelman
Saxophonist Dave Liebman's reputation has often rested on his deliberation for carrying the torch laid down by John Coltrane. Expressionistic, with an informed world view, he is as comfortable in a melodic and relaxed setting, as on his most recent quartet record, In a Mellow Tone , as he is in a more free context, beautifully ...
Dave Liebman Group: In a Mellow Tone
by John Kelman
Don't let the title of Dave Liebman's latest disc, In a Mellow Tone, fool you. While the ambience is generally more relaxed than his usual fare, this is no easy-going collection of standards; instead what we have is an album that, for all its mellifluous aspirations, has a subtle intensity, and a certain feeling that all ...

Dave Liebman: If I had $10 Million in the Bank!
by David Liebman
There's no question that I am going to get pinned to the mat, condemned for being close minded, negative, purist, sour grapes and definitely politically incorrect for what I am writing. It is very specific, concerned with jazz musicians being hired to play in pop situations. It is not about musically “crossing over" which is another ...

Now they return to hatOLOGY as a duo, developing their impressive rapport over the course of two discs - the first in-studio, the second live, both recorded on the same date.Liebman has ...
