  On this special musical tribute, David Liebman: John Coltrane’s Meditations, Saxophonist Dave Liebman pays musical homage to John Coltrane and his monumental Meditations Suite. In this 30th anniversary re-creation of John Coltrane’s ground-breaking epic recording, “David Liebman and his self-challenging associates deliver a remarkably perceptive and indeed spiritual performance in which ordinary time stops and you enter Coltrane time”. (Quotes from liner notes by Nat Hentoff.)”00536 Lieb Med wide shot whole group GOOD
  
  “…profoundly moving… an exhilarating, chance taking, yet wholly idiomatic realization of this masterpiece… From it’s soul stirring levels of grandeur, to the solemn peace of its final seconds, performances like these are why music is worth revisiting.” – Jazziz Magazine
  
  Featuring esteemed Jazz musicians such as Tiger Okoshi, Vic Juris, Phil Markowitz, Tony Marino, Billy Hart, and Cecil McBee, among others, the albums real appeal is hearing the genius of Liebman, who was voted the top soprano saxophonist by Down Beat Magazine. Liebman, like Coltrane, found prominence as a player for Miles Davis.00484 Lieb Med hand out Caris Vic GOOD
  
  “Liebman’s lifelong fascination with the music of John Coltrane has resulted in one of his most powerful albums yet, a new rendition of Coltrane’s “Meditations”. Coltrane’s magnificent composition spans a wide range of human emotion and spirituality from the ecstatic, speaking-in-tongues invocation of the Christian Trinity, to the otherworldly tranquility of the final movement, “Serenity”. Liebman’s own arrangement of the suite brings an added spiritual and musical dimension to the original. Liebman has rarely sounded as inspired on record, displaying a spiritual longing and restless energy worthy of the suite’s composer. This album will surely be remembered as one of Liebman’s best.” – Joe Middleton, Stereo Type
  
  On this original and creatively impressive recording, entitled David Liebman: John Coltrane’s Meditations and recorded at a live concert at New York’s Symphony Space, Liebman not only recreates John Coltrane’s groundbreaking masterpiece, but re-envisions the album, breathing new life into the masterpiece and staking his claim as one of the most imaginative musicians of his Generation; and in doing so bestows his continual inventiveness and fresh legacy on the world of Jazz.
