Dave Liebman: Earth
by Mike Jurkovic
It's taken over two tumultuous decades for Dave Liebman to fully realize and execute his poetic, elemental suite. Alongside Pat Metheny,Billy Hart, and Cecil McBee, Water: Giver of Life (Arkadia Jazz, 1997) birthed the the long journey.

Dave Liebman: Archives and Improvisations - The Past and the Now of a Life in Jazz
by Victor L. Schermer
Prolific saxophonist, composer, band leader, and educator Dave Liebman is a living legend, an NEA Jazz Master who has been making waves since the 1970s and never stops growing, learning, and discovering. His autobiography, What It Is (Scarecrow Press, 2012, with Lewis Porter) is an honest probing of his more than half century experience as a ...
Hyeseon Hong: EE-YA-GI (Stories)
by Troy Dostert
With her rich, engaging debut release, EE-YA-GI (Stories), composer Hyeseon Hong brings her own unique approach to contemporary jazz. Using a first-rate large ensemble to showcase her compositions, she takes traditional folk forms, particularly from her native Korea, and develops them with modern big-band jazz voicings.

Dave Liebman Group: Expansions Live
by Alberto Bazzurro
Registrato dal vivo (a Seattle, Pittsburgh e Duluth) fra l'ottobre 2014 e l'ottobre 2015, questo doppio album ci offre un'istantanea attuale di Dave Liebman e del gruppo che ne supporta i più recenti appetiti creativi. La singolarità è che il quintetto che ha realizzato l'opera si sdoppia su due profili: acustico (primo CD) ed elettrico (secondo ...

Quattro di queste sono infatti di Liebman, due dell'ancista Matt Vashlishan, due di Marino e ...
Dave Liebman: Expansions: The Puzzle
by Budd Kopman
The Puzzle is the terrfic follow-up recording by David Liebman's new group, Expansions, the first being Samsara. No sophomore jinx here; if anything, the group has coalesced further and is even tighter. To throw out a (perhaps meaningless) label, this music could be called hyper-bop in its mix of well-placed dissonance, rhythmic displacements and ...
