2 Original Compositions

A collection of 50+ Liebman original compositions, spanning the period from the '70's to 2006. The material includes all facets of Lieb's eclectic approach: modal, chromatic, blues, lyrical and free compositions. Many of the pieces include exact piano voicings and bass-lines. Also included is an essay on 'Why Compose?' as well as descriptions of the inspiration for each of the tunes.Having the invaluable experience of being associated with Lieb on many levels for many years, and also having played and recorded many of these compositions, I can say from experience that his music offers not only the greatest challenges but also the greatest rewards. Practicing and performing his compositions will give you exposure to every type of playing situation imaginable and broaden your musical and improvisational horizons. (Phil Markowitz)I call Dave an 'improvisionary? - a great jazz composer and improviser with a unique vision of the world, reflected in his compositions, some of which are found in this great new collection. It always takes more than one 'look? to play one of these pieces. They are, to say the least, challenging - but clearly worth it! Congratulations, Bro! And thanks to the wonderful Veronika Gruber of advance music for continuing Hans's great work. (Richie Beirach) / Instruments Mélodiques en Do (Fl/Gtr/Pf)

Guitarist Travis Reuter's compositions focus on abstract forms complex rhythmic structures timbre and polytonality while continuing to explore the improviser's role in a traditional setting. His music isinspired by contemporary classical music and draws heavily on influences from the music of composers Elliott Carter Brian Ferneyhough and Jason Eckardt. Each composition experiments with combinations of form counterpoint andnew devices for improvisation. Underlying this approach is an implicit skepticism of the aesthetics of the mainstream jazz establishment and a deep hunger to integrate elements from other forward-looking genres. Reuter'sintegration of the motivic and rhythmic language of the classical modernists sets him apart from other young guitarists from the modern jazz lineage and such material drawn from outside of the jazz tradition acts as the glue thatholds this music together conceptually. This volume contains nine original compositions that give the reader insight into the compositional language of Travis Reuter.
