Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra/France 2004

They re-formed as the new Liberation Music Orchestra and recorded their first new album in 14 years since their previous album, “Not in Our Name,” which was released in 2005 and is LMO’s fifth album. Immediately after the recording of this album. The ultimate live performance from the festival is here! ! ! “Not in Our Name,” which is currently well-known as a masterpiece, is actually the return work of female composer and arranger Carla Bley, and features sophisticated and unique arrangements that only she can do, as well as collaborations with up-and-coming young artists. It was a perfect combination of aggressive play, featured original songs as well as songs by Pat Metheny and Ornette Coleman, and had a profound content that reexamined America at the time. Even if you listen to this work now, it continues to shine without fading at all. After recording this masterpiece, all that was left to do was wait for its release. Charlie, Carla, and LMO felt a great response and began actively performing live, even though the album had not yet been released. However, the number is limited due to the schedules of popular members. This is a must-listen album that includes the moving live performance at the Marciac Jazz Festival held in France on August 5, 2004 from such a valuable concert, recorded on the highest quality stereo soundboard with the label’s own careful mastering. is now in stock! ! ! One of the reasons behind the formation of the Liberation Music Orchestra was to provide a platform for Carla Bley, an incredibly talented arranger/pianist who was one of the most famous musicians of the time, but one of the least known to the general public. That was it. Gary Burton’s early masterpiece “Funeral” was a pioneer. Revelation’s first work, recorded on Impulse in 1969, is a masterpiece with an outstanding arrangement that clearly shows Carla Bley’s characteristics, surpassing even the excellent performances of the participating members, who were mainly JCOA members. Also known as a board. More than 10 years later, in 1982, ECM released another tear-jerking masterpiece, “The Ballad of the Fallen,” and around the time I had forgotten, “Dream Keeper” and “Not in Our Name.” Although irregular, “Montreal Tapes” is everything Liberation Music Orchestra is about. Hayden, a famous bassist/composer who went beyond the genre of jazz, sadly passed away at the age of 76 in 2014. This was the last work of the Liberation Music Orchestra, which Hayden had placed at the center of his life. Carla, his ally.・Bray returned to arrange/piano/conduct all songs, including original works as well as Pat Metheny’s “This Is Not America”, Ornette Coleman’s “America the Beautiful”, Bill Frisell and David・The 2005 masterpiece “Not in Our Name”, which also includes songs by Bowie, is centered on post-9/11 America and once again expresses Hayden’s patriotism towards his homeland, America, and is one of the best among L.M.O.’s works. It’s a lyrical work with the most beautiful melody and melancholy, and the whole song feels nostalgic. Time passes gracefully and slowly with a beautiful melody that makes you cry and an old-timey atmosphere…Carla’s whole body. The arrangement is simply a masterpiece! This performance was a complete reproduction of that masterpiece in a live performance, with Hayden creating an overall flow with a characteristic warm tone and simple lyrical melody, both in the background and solo, and a graceful and elegant song. Carla brings the band together with her beautiful melodies and tones, and the talented members, including Michael Rodriguez, Curtis Foulkes, Chris Cheek, Steve Cardenas, and Matt Wilson, perform in a controlled manner, never getting in each other’s way. However, it is filled with the excitement and enthusiasm that is unique to a live performance, and it spins like a story… Starting with the magnificent and sorrowful “America the Beautiful”, “Through Out”, which incorporates reggae rhythms, The entire album is filled with warm music rooted in Hayden’s deep love, including Pat Metheny’s “This Is Not America” and the beautiful hymn “Amazing Grace,” which is one of the most admired and beloved songs in the United States. It’s such a beautiful performance! ! ! Live at Jazz Marciac Festival Marciac,France August 05.2004 1. America the Beautiful 2. Thtoughout 3. Amazung Grace 4. This is Not America – Fade Out 6.
