The David Liebman Big Band: Beyond the Line
by Jack Bowers
Anyone who is familiar with Dave Liebman knows that the music he endorses and performs is sure to be cutting-edge, and such is the case with Beyond the Line, Liebman's first-ever recording as leader of his own big band. This is definitely ensemble music for the twenty-first century, and while it may not suit everyone's idea ...
Michael Brecker / David Liebman / Joe Lovano: Saxophone Summit: Gathering of Spirits
by Woodrow Wilkins
Normally when you hear the words “three tenors," you think of opera singers. In this case, three tenors--in addition to a soprano and a few other instruments--refers to the saxophone, which is perhaps the coolest voice in jazz. Saxophone Summit brings together the voices of Michael Brecker, Joe Lovano and Dave Liebman, a true Gathering of ...
Scott DuBois Quintet feat. David Liebman: Monsoon
by Jeff Stockton
Scott DuBois plays a fair amount of electric guitar on Monsoon , his debut as a leader, but it's when he plays acoustic that he makes his most coherent and provocative statements. Strumming, plucking and pulling strings as if he were rearranging them on the neck of his instrument, DuBois injects the classical sound of Segovia's ...
Michael Brecker/Dave Liebman/Joe Lovano: Saxophone Summit: Gathering of Spirits
by Jeff Stockton
You could argue that every post-Coltrane recording of serious saxophone music has been informed by the legacy and spirit of the man himself. Yet it takes a musician (or musicians) of a particular stature and gravity to pull off an explicit tribute by interpreting some of his legendary compositions without sending you straight back to the ...
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 ...
Mosaic Select: Liebman & Bierach
by John Kelman
It's not often that one hears of musical relationships that last as long as twenty years, but saxophonist Dave Liebman and pianist Richie Beirach have shared a musical friendship that spanned a number of ensembles and contexts; sometimes, as in the case of their groundbreaking group Lookout Farm, they adapted to current trends, but they never ...
Dave Liebman
by AAJ Staff
