| Liebman is one of the great contemporary sax improvisers, and a rarity in being an American jazz musician from the Miles Davis stable who can embrace pretty much all improv idioms. But lovers of Kurt Weill's classics might blanch at the thought of such a radical reinterpreter being let loose on such sanctified material. The later stages of Mac the Knife do find the unquenchable Liebman drifting further into a world of grunting double-time bursts and upper-end warbles, but the steady click of Eric Ineke's cymbals restrain him, and the saxophonist has rarely sounded more Sonny Rollins-like. Contrastingly, his limpid soprano sax lines curl delicately around Jesse van Ruller's decisive lines on groovers like This Time Next Year and Here I'll Stay. Speak Low is unleashed as a hard-edged, tenor-led swinger full of typical Liebman insinuations, the resourceful leader plays janglingly free-floating piano on Liebeslied and My Ship, and the unaccompanied September Song is a short exercise in seductive solo tenor-sax poetry. Liebman's records aren't usually for the casual listener, but this one might help a lot of the unconverted to get the idea. |
