The all-star cast of Dave Liebman alongside Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and Kenny Werner present the album 'Fire' recorded in 2016. Without any doubt, this is an absolute all-star cast: The exceptional saxophonist Dave Liebman, together with percussionist Jack DeJohnette, bassist Dave Holland, and pianist Kenny Werner. All four of them have been involved in shaping modern jazz during the '70s, '80s and continue doing so until today. Now the four friends have come together for a recording session at the Avatar Studios in New York. The result is a unique and innovative album with a lot of power and joy of playing. A late masterpiece!Tracklist:
The Elements: Fire
The four elements found in the natural world (Air, Fire, Water, Earth) represent the ultimate example of duality, observed in both nature and humankind. Whether it is called yin.yang, nigh/day (any opposing pari), the principle remains the same. As Yoda, the Star Wars sage said: "There are always two!!"
Extreme manifestation of this duality pertaining to the element of air are realized as tornadoes, hurricanes and cyclones; the for the water element as floors and blizzards; the earth as earthquakes and for fire, conflagration. Equally on the opposite side there are the life-giving and sustaining qualities of air, water, fire and the earth… all gifts of nature granted to the human species.
Conceptually, this music alludes to one aspect of the duality of the fire element. Sparks begin the process, evolving into flames, progressing to an inferno… finally ashes remain as a testament to fire's destructive legacy, but with the understanding that fire is also realized as heat, light and sustenance.
The Rhythm Section
My roots with Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette go back to the late 1960's. I met Dave in London in 1967 when I was visiting Europe for a few months. With Jack it was about that time we met at jam session in New York. My first album as a leader ("First Visit") was recorded in Japan while I was with Miles Davis and they were with Stan Getz along with my long time partner, pianist Richie Beirach. (Also there was the 1988 "Trio + 1" recording with Dave, Jack and my wife Caris Visentin on oboe. When Dave came to New York joining Miles Davis' group in 1968 he ended up living on the second floor of a loft building where I was the first tenant, eventually joined by Chick Corea on the first floor… 138 W. 19th Street. Of course Jack and Dave have gone on to be recognized as one of the classic bass/drum combinations in jazz history and individually two of the greatest artists on their instruments. Jack especially is a force of nature.
Besides the programmatic aspect of the recording as described above, there was in my mind the idea of re-creating the feeling of the music we played in the loft days from that early period, featuring a heavy dose of free jazz inspired by Coltrane's seminal recording "Ascension". There were many sessions that might feature several horn players "soloing" together (Mike and Randy Brecker, Terumasa Hino, Bob Berg, Steve Grossman, etc) all embracing the free spirit of the late 60's period both in the real world and musically. At the same time the so-called "fusion" movement with Miles at the head became popular along with the rock/jazz horn band phenomenon… 10 Wheel Drive (the group I played in), Chicago, Blood, Sweat Tears, etc… These contemporary activities co-existed with the jazz tradition we were all still learning about, since many of the original masters were still very active. Quite an exciting period!!
If I must say so, we have all definitely improved in the ensuing decades, especially when it comes to playing "free jazz"… the ability to play less, to play soft, to express a feeling above all …. in sum demonstrating maturity at its highest level. For this recording the opportunity to have Kenny Werner join Jack and Dave in the rhythm section was a blessing as he fit right into the very open and loose scenario I was looking for. Playing and communing with these great artists was an honor and privilege.
