Dave Liebman Quartet in Bloomington

[ghost of miles]

Very late in getting around to posting this--he's playing at the Waldron Arts Center (former police station/jail) here in Bloomington, IN this evening. Show starts around 7:30...I'll be heading over there after I wrap up my fund-drive stint on the board during All Things Considered.

GoM you have no idea how jealous of you I am right now, hoping that Dave comes back to Philadelphia soon. I saw him at Chris' Jazz Cafe here in Philly October '07 and freaking loved it.....I still have some of the video clips in my phone(along with Pat Martino a month later! )

The quartet had great chemistry from what I remember, with former drummer from Maynard's Big Bop Nouveau(sp?), Marco Marcinko. Dave is a nice guy, I caught a couple minutes to chat with him as they were packing up and signing CDs.

Please report back and let us know what your thoughts were. If you didn't have it already, I hope you picked up his CD, Blues all Ways. Groovy and enjoyable IMO.

Cheers!!!!

I saw the quartet last night at the Green Mill in Chicago. It was an excellent show. I've heard quite a few versions of "Lonley Woman" live over the years, but the way they played it last night might be my favorite.

He played Pittsburgh on Thursday night (opposite the Steeler game so there was a light turnout) at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild. Also in his quartet were Vic Juris on Guitar, Tony Moreno on Bass, and Marco Marcinko on Drums. First half of the show was Liebman playing with the students of the Duquesne University Big Band before ripping it up with his quartet during the second half of the concert. My personal highlights were the last three songs of his set: an original composition entitled "Dimi and the Blue Men", followed by "Stardust", and a rousing climax of Ornette Coelman's "Turnaround" It was a great show.
