Ed S Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Iwas just over at the Blue Note site and in their news section, their talking this guy up. I can only assume that he's now a Blue Note artist. I went to his website and am listening to some tunes now. Pretty good stuff. For what it's worth, his AMG bio looks impressive (to me) and their review of his Orthodoxy record is very favorable. Anyone know anything about this guy or hear him play at some point? From what I'm hearing right now, he's definitely worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 I think Liberty's day gig is in the BN office. All I've heard is the fine Threadgill recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Weil Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 He used to post a fair amount on usenet, so if you want to read some of that:GoogleUsenet Search Or just a straight Google search He seemed to have stuff to say, posting-wise.

Big Wheel Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 I believe he is also the brother of one of the founders of a company that does the majority of radio promotion for Blue Note these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I have recently discovered Liberty's first three albums for Pi: Tactiles, Ophiuchus Butterfly, and Radiate. IMHO each one is better than the prior one. The first one is relatively straight-ahead, but MBase and Henry Threadgill influences become increasingly pronounced thereafter.

Tom in RI Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Check out his recordings with Stephan Crump’s Rosetta Trio. Crump with Ellman on acoustic guitar and Jamie Fox on electric guitar. Edited July 23, 2020 by Tom in RI More pertinent info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Also, a very good, recent trio recording under his own name. It's more straight ahead than the Pi but no less impressive. https://libertyellman.bandcamp.com/album/water-walkers The fourth Pi is a winner too. Someone who records as a leader not as regularly as I would like but it does make a new album an event in this household. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
