Dave Liebman's new group looks towards the present generation of jazz musicians schooled in conservatory and university settings, continuing the time tested tradition of master/apprentice as he experienced in the 1970's with drummer Elvin Jones and Miles Davis. By reaching across generations, he teaches and learns from them.
"EXPANSIONS" features up and coming pianist Bobby Avey, reedman Matt Vashlishan, drummer Alex Ritz and a continuation of Lieb's long relationship with bassist Tony Marino. Conceptually, the repertoire traverses elements of free jazz and re-arrangements of standards infused with the complex time signatures and harmonies being explored by new jazz artists.
