Karsh Kale: Liberation - PopMatters Music Review This album might not be as "exciting" (because thrilling and new) as Kale's debut, and there is a definite lack of great singer/songwriters Siddiqui Shah and Gigi on Liberation; Shah's absence is especially hard because he was the only one singing in English and now I can't understand anything. The album's closing song, "Epic", benefits especially from the orchestral overlay, turning a droney piece of desolation into a semi-dance track for which the Flaming Lips's Wayne Coyne would give his left and right nuts. The addition of the Madras Chamber Orchestra on half of the album's tracks is an especially inspired choice by Kale -- this filmic touch deepens those songs without cheapening them. www.popmatters.com /music/reviews/k/kalekarsh-liberation.shtml

Charlie Haden : Liberation Music Orchestra - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect Charlie Haden : Liberation Music Orchestra - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect A fascinating reissue that comfortably straddles the lines of jazz, folk and world music, working up a storm by way of a jazz protest album that points toward the Spanish Civil War in particular and the Vietnam War in passing. Reissue producer Michael Cuscuna has done his best with the mastering here, but listeners will note a roughness to the sound -- one that is in keeping with the album's tone and attitude. www.artistdirect.com /nad/store/artist/album/0,,97281,00.html

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra: The Essentials Of Afrobeat Aside from relentless touring and a follow up album Talkatif in 2002, the Antibalas has steadily grown into a full-fledged orchestra to complement Perna’s passion for afro-beat, an urban West African dance-while-you-protest style that modernized traditional Yoruba music. Saxophonist Martin Perna formed Antibalas in Brooklyn, back in 1998, and they later released their first album Liberation Afrobeat Vol. Antibalas encompasses a union of Latinos, whites, African-Americans, Africans and Asian Americans – further embellishing world music not only in sound, but also in physical diversity. www.glidemagazine.com /articles88.html   (2475 words)

WERS.org :: 88.9FM :: Emerson College Antibalas debuted their first album “Liberation Afrobeat Vol.1” in 2001, followed by “Talkatif” in 2002, both off the UK-based label, Ninjatune. Based out of Brooklyn, Antibalas is a grand musical family with broad cultural and musical backgrounds who together, take on the musical spirit of the late Nigerian Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti and make it their own. And so that’s, that’s sort of, it’s a whole universe of music from the earliest Afrobeat compositions to the ones he was recording in the mid 90s. www.wers.org /interviews/display.asp?show=3&article=1   (447 words)

BASS PLAYER ONLINE: Artists There are his ground-breaking albums with the Liberation Music Orchestra. So on your second listen of the album, rather than wondering how Manring managed to master so many voices of the bass, note the pure artfulness of his compositions and arrangements, and let that inspire you to explore the musical boundaries of your own playing. When this 1986 smash album first hit the radio, there probably wasn't a bassist on the planet whose head wasn't turned by the incredibly interesting, free-flowing fretless lines of Bakithi Kumalo. archive.bassplayer.com /artists/essent.shtml   (442 words)

cdRoots The music on this album combines elements from East and West to create beautiful and powerful songs - as once sung by the great female singers Fairuz and Magda El-Roumi. The CD consists of classical Andalusian music, performed by Leyris's orchestra which included both Jewish and Arab musicians ; and classical Arab texts describing the golden age in Spain. In the course of his life he managed to leave his imprint on Iraqi music, proving beyond all doubt that he was one of the great standard bearers of the modern revolution which took place in the field. www.cdroots.com /magda.shtml   (442 words)

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra: Liberation Afrobeat Vol. 1 ---Ink Blot Magazine Antibalas remember everything that made Fela's music great; non-stop grooves studded with polyrhythmic percussion breaks, a hard-punching horn section, crisp guitars bolstered by a real organ. The album's considerable power comes from the accumulating momentum of the massive, ultra-tight band playing tune after righteous tune. They release their own records, including an earlier version of Liberation Afro Beat, recorded at their own studio. www.inkblotmagazine.com /rev-archive/AAO_Liberation_Afrobeat.htm   (273 words)

Charlie Haden: Montreal Tapes Vol.1 - Wal-Mart Haden continued his interest in politically motivated music in 1991 when he issued an album with Carlos Paredes, a Portuguese fado musician who had been an active anti-Fascist and also released a third Liberation Music Orchestra album, Dream Keeper, the title track a suite based on a poem by the African American writer Langston Hughes. Along with Crisis, a recording of a concert from a tour which Haden made with Ornette Coleman in 1969, Liberation Music Orchestra has the distinction of being the object of an attempt by the record companies' shareholders to withdraw it from the catalogue because of its "anti-American" content. Haden began his musical career when still a child, broadcasting daily on local country music radio. www.walmart.com /catalog/product.gsp?product_id=846969   (1174 words)

Don Cherry Towards the end of the 1960s Cherry fell into the orbit of the The Jazz Composers Orchestra, participating in the recording of the Michael Mantler-composed album Communications, as well as associated projects including Carla Bley's Escalator Over The Hill, and ex-Coleman Quartet bandmate Charlie Haden's first Liberation Music Orchestra effort. Cherry's experimentation in what later came to be referred to as "world music" found a culmination in the creation of the trio Codona with Nana Vasconcelos and Collin Walcott in 1978, which synthesized aspects of Brazilian, Eastern Indian, and a variety of folk styles within an improvisational context. Born in Oklahoma City but raised in Los Angeles by music-loving parents, Don Cherry spent his childhood surrounded by the sounds of the swing music of the 30s and 40s. www.nndb.com /people/989/000029902   (1174 words)

PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Charlie Haden Although he has preformed principally as a sideman, Haden won critical attention in 1969 with his own album Liberation Music Orchestra, which consisted of a number of revolutionary and freedom songs, including Haden's own composition Song for Che. Haden continued to perform in the 1980s, and in 1982 recorded with a new Liberation Music Orchestra made up of members of Carla Bley's group and Old and New Dreams; the band toured the USA into the mid-1980s. In 1976, with Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, and Ed Blackwell (all former sidemen with Coleman), Haden formed the group Old and New Dreams, and the same year he recorded an outstanding series of duets with various musicians, which were issued on two albums. www.pbs.org /jazz/biography/artist_id_haden_charlie.htm   (323 words)

E.J.N. - CHARLIE HADEN Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra completed it's trilogy of recordings with the 1991 release of Dreamkeeper (Blue Note), which had the unique distinction of winning both the "Downbeat" Critic's and Reader's poll as Album of the Year.

Charlie contributed to yet another award winning album in 1987, The Michael Brecker Album, which won both of the "Downbeat" polls. www.ejn.it /mus/haden.htm   (889 words)

During this time Cherry began working with the pocket trumpet, a scaled-down version of the instrument not typically associated with jazz, but through which he established his own distinctive style and timbral quality. www.nndb.com /people/989/000029902   (511 words)

Charlie Haden: Making Beautiful Music, and Vice Versa Haden went on to a long association with Jarrett, founded his own bands, played with a myriad of superb jazz musicians and created the Liberation Orchestra. A compilation of music from Mexico, largely from the pen of Jose Sabre Marroquin, is a classically beautiful album. He has recorded with the likes of Ringo Starr (”He's a character, man. A great drummer too.”) and recently played on Alice Coltrane's first album in 26 years, www.allaboutjazz.com /php/article.php?id=15658   (1184 words)

MIMEO This album, Like some of Otomo Yoshihide's groups, is example of the vibrant progressions that have been made in the wake of the liberation of digital audio processing &endash; in that compatibility with speed has turned the computer into viable improvising instrument &endash;MIMEO never loses touch with the tactile. Within the orchestra this transition is represented by the "group primitive" and the "powerbook trio", a kind of "post techno Duchampianism", a music worked around choice and juxtaposition. Mimeo takes two features of C20 music into the C21, improvisation and electronics. www.euronet.nl /users/fuhler/mimeo.htm   (472 words)

Sampling (music) An interesting early use sampling was on Charlie Haden's 1969 release, Liberation Music Orchestra: A few of the album's numbers (such as "Song For Che") feature fragments of Gramophone recordings of songs from the Spanish Civil War, but integrated as part of a new song. Goodman would later make a career out of similar "break-in" or "snippet" records, including such recordings as "Mister Jaws" and "Energy Crisis '74," and is today considered one of the fathers of pop music sampling. In the 1950's, Bill Buchanan and Dickie Goodman released a song, "The Flying Saucer (Parts 1 and 2)", which featured samples of various then-popular songs, all taken out of context from their original material and used as answers to a wacky reporter's question about spaceships from another planet. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/S/Sampling-(music).htm   (1419 words)

E.J.N. - CHARLIE HADEN Charlie reorganized the Liberation Music Orchestra in 1984 with many of the original members - Paul Motian, Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Carla Bley, and Michael Mantler. In 1976, Haden, Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, and Ed Blackwell (all of whom had worked closely with Ornette Coleman) formed the group Old and New Dreams to keep alive Ornette's compositional and improvisational approaches - as well as his music. A debut album was recorded for Black Saint and several subsequent albums were done for ECM. www.ejn.it /mus/haden.htm   (889 words)
