Open Sky - Spirit In The Sky [PM Music]

this trio - Liebman, Tusa, Moses - is a recent discovery. Some good playing from all three on this. 

 

Agree- I was more than surprised when I stumbled on this a few years ago. Revised my opinion upwards on Liebman. I now consider him both cool and original , previously neither.

:tup!

I think it's an unfortunately titled album, even though it's an accurately titled one. It's mostly interesting (or more than interesting) music that reflects a more rag/"hot jazz" inspiration, but it's in no way "early Third Stream" or anything like that. Somebody wanting to talk about how "European" composers "wanted" jazz but fundamentally misunderstood it could easily use this as ammunition for their argument, but that would be a misguided point entirely. This guy got what he wanted out of what he was hearing and then went about things he was gonna do anyways.

I do get a BIG LOL about this one:

If Don Ellis every felt a bump in the night, it might have been this...not anything to do with meter, just the discombobulation within the standard symmetries and the pointed, intentional "corniness" used as subterfuge, I mean, jeez...

Funny that because until this LP I too hadn't really been grabbed by anything of Liebman's. I came to the Open Sky LPs through Bob Moses.

 Have you found anything subsequently that has consolidated the cool and original Liebman view?  I'm thinking I might explore a bit more

May I chip in and recommend "First Visit" (Philips Japan 1973 - with Richie Beirach, Dave Holland and Jack De Johnette)?

If you like Trane and Ali on "Interstellar Space", you should really hear the title track...

This album features also a beautiful performance of "Round Midnight" ....
