Dave Liebman - Ceremony - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The genesis of this threesome coming together seemed to be a quite natural one. Liebman and Rudolph began playing duo in 2016 and Sorey and Rudolph began performing as a percussion duet in 2018. Sorey states Inchwe seemed so in sync with each other, in part, perhaps, because we are both composers as well as percussionists.Inch When the opportunity arose to present a trio concept it seemed a natural step for these three artists of different generations to perform together. NEW NOW is the recorded document of that concert. Liebman, Sorey & Rudolph brought their unique and evolved rhythm and sonic languages to the fore, through inspired and spirited dialogue. The music flows as one complete piece with several movements or sections. This music exists on it's own terms reflecting the wonderful alchemy of these artists as they spontaneously created dialogues, orchestrations and sonic moods. According to Liebman, InchFor a Inchmaiden voyageInch.

Beingness brings together three masters of creative music award-winning percussionist Adam Rudolph, soprano sax player and NEA Jazz Master Dave Liebman, and drummer and NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart.Available May 23, 2025 via Rudolph's Meta Records, the live album, recorded in the spring of 2023 at New York City's iconic creative music venue The Stone, marks the fourth in a series of trio recordings released by Liebman and Rudolph. The trio's genesis evolved naturally. Hart and Liebman, who met performing on Miles Davis' historic 1972 recording On the Corner, have played together for over 30 years in configurations including their Quest quartet. Liebman and Rudolph began playing as a duo in 2016, developing a trio with rotating drum chairs. InchWhen we found out Tyshawn (Sorey) was unavailable for The Stone concert, Dave suggested we ask Billy Hart, Inch remembers Rudolph. InchI enthusiastically agreed. I've admired Billy's playing since I first heard him with Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi Sextet at the Smiling Dog in Cleveland. I loved his playing then and I love it now.Inch Working with Liebman and Hart was a dream come true for Rudolph. InchBoth Billy and Dave inspired me so much when I was a teenager first getting into playing music, Inch he said. InchIt was a real honor to create the spontaneous compositions on Beingness with these two masters.Inch Together, Hart, Liebman and Rudolph bring decades of performance experience in the full range of contemporary jazz and creative improvised music. Their embodied experience of playing these forms allows them to spontaneously generate new forms though melodic and rhythmic dialogues. These factors, along with the unique combination of instruments Liebman's wood flutes and Rudolph's array of percussion bring to the trio, make Beingness a completely original and soulful addition to the evolution of creative music.
