Synopsis

Album Description
World debut recording! Winner of prestigious Aaron Copland Award! Seven compositions from jazz crusader David Liebman?s, drawn from his 30+ year career and reflecting the eclectic musical styles and trends he?s assimilated, have been arranged by six leading arrangers including Jim McNeely and Vince Mendoza. Also included is the audaciously re-worked, Grammy-nominated "Sing Sing Sing," written specifically for Liebman as soloist with the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band. Lieb?s big band is an cross-stylistic collective of top-flight East Coast performers and improvisors. The music is filled with unusual harmonies and room for collective improvisation and ranges from the fusion-jazzy "Fracas" to the programmatic, deeply moving "Hiroshima Memorial" to the mysterious and deeply harmonic "Carissima" to the chamber music-like "Done With Restraint" to the flowing, polychromatic brushstrokes of "Pablo" (for Picasso).
