Search - Dave Liebman, Manhattan School of Music Jazz Orch :: Sketches of Spain Live (Jewl)

Saxophonist Dave Liebman, with Justin DiCioccio conducting the Manhattan School of Music Jazz Orchestra, re-brands the Gil Evans and Miles Davis classic Sketches of Spain in a masterfully recorded live setting featuring some of the finest upcoming jazz musicians on today's scene. "Dave Liebman did here what an artist must do in certain situations. He dared. One doesn't have to compare his version of Sketches of Spain with Miles Davis' recording. That has long been a classic and will continue to be so. Liebman put on his wings and flew toward the sun. The wax did not melt and he soared like an eagle." -- Ira Gitler
