  • @ jazzman121444 why would you say such a thing ? If its not your taste dont listen to it --you could try live at the Lighthouse 1972 with Elvin

  • Liebman is playing the same licks over and over... In my opinion, the real star of this band is the drummer, Billy Hart

  • @jazzman121444

    its amazing how u got the guts to say that liebman is a fraud! he's probably one of the best sax players we've seen in modern times!

  • I love Lieb, his sound everything... Just sometimes I don't feel his solos really... I'm not even sure, they just don't seem to go.. He almost plays with some strange rubato feel... He's a great tenor and guy though!

  • @hodaka1105 Apparently, you and I have similar taste. A lot of people here dis Lieb, but I like that he isn't afraid to think "outside of the box". I never really got into Joe Lovano. Have you ever felt like someone was doing everything right but it just wasn't moving? As for Brecker, the man was a motivic development machine. Some people are put off by the technical overkill, but I love it and miss it.

  • Holy Cow! That was intense! can't believe it was a 25 minutes video, thought it was a normal youtube video under the usual 10 mins. They all played their asses and Mr. Billy Hart, holy f*** , killer!

  • @jazzman121444 Making a statement such as Dave Liebman is a fraud suggests something more than a critique of his skills. I happen to think his body of work speaks for itself and shows creativity, soul, knowledge of the music and a superior approach to his craft. If there is something that bothers you about his playing, you should voice that, as opposed to making a blanket statement.
