Album Review
The second recording by Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra utilizes a few alumni (the bassist/leader, trumpeters Don Cherry and Mike Mantler, tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, drummer Paul Motian and pianist Carla Bley), along with other musicians who rose to prominence since the 1969 debut album (Jim Pepper and Steve Slagle on reeds, trombonist Gary Valante, guitarist Mick Goodrick, Sharon Freeman on French horn, and Jack Jeffers on tuba). As with the first set, the music mixes together some melodic but avant-garde explorations with revolutionary themes including songs from the Spanish Civil War, El Salvador, Portugal and Chile. "Too Late," a duet by Bley and Haden, serves as a change of pace. The music is quite credible and emotional, and has dated well.
Customer Reviews
Must Have!
I owned this record for ages but lost it a few years ago. I finally found it in the store. This is exceptionall music. You hear the pain of the people this music was made for.
ballad of the fallen
sorry, the Ballad of the Fallen IS correctly identified, but throughout the album the cuts are made arbitrarily in the middle of segues,
so you're really better off buying the whole record
thank you ECM
So glad to be able to hear this music again. This comes from a rich period of jazz history.
