Solo Recordings From the 1980s |

These solo endeavors
feature myself playing all the instruments. “Memories, Dreams and
Reflections” highlights the compositions, most of which are quite
programmatic. The Carl Jung book by this name was very influential on me
at that time, encouraging a lot of introspective thinking. “Picture Show”
consists of improvisations based on a specific idiom or texture. (“One Of
A Kind” is a combination of tracks from both recordings.) The challenge of
recording solo is obvious; how to balance one’s individual talents and
aesthetic values into a musical statement.
Picture Show Review by Donald Elfman Picture Show is a 1985 solo effort - Liebman plays all the saxophones and flutes plus piano, synthesizer and percussion. It’s a study of a world of music and sound - and takes in colors from other cultures and even digs into some rock and roll. (He played with Miles when the trumpeter was exploring that world as well.) The music is challenging and often dissonant but never any less than fascinating. It takes an artist to pull off this kind of bold experiment and Liebman lives up to that role. There’s enough color and humor here to keep the project from pretension and the pieces are all short so there’s little chance of the disc wearing out its welcome. Note how on “Blues ‘n’ Dues” and “Rock Around the Clock” he finds new routes to roots.
