Expansions-The Dave Liebman Group: Earth

Dreamy landscapes, like a trip to Monument Valley, are created by Dave Liebman with his soprano sax and wood flute teaming up with Matt Vashlishan/synth, Bobby Avey/p, Tony Marino/b and Alex Ritz/dr. Everyone gets a chance for some solos on their own “Interludes” with each artist creating rich pastel atmospheres. A pair of “Earth Themes”  book-end the entire episode, sounding a bit like vintage Weather Report with a mix of exotic and space effects. The team gets electric on “Galaxy” and assertive over Marino’s bass on “Concrete Jungle” with fluffy dreams hovering on “Grand Canyon/Mt. Everest” and gentle shifting sands on “The Sahara”. This planet never sounded better.
