| Memories, Dreams and Reflections features David Liebman by himself
in a very personal approach making use of overdubbing techniques.
In addition to his soprano sax and flute, he employs piano, electric
piano, synthesizer, drums, bells, and his voice here.
Recorded in late 1981 and mid-1982, Liebman meanders through
the real and the abstract, the pretty and the ugly, the peaceful
and the agitated. An image-creating soloist, Liebman paints his
sound pictures in layered textures.
Will Smith, Sunday World-Herald |
What David’s solo project reveals is a broad humanistic
vision, a wealth of musical talent, an amazing mastery over a battery
of instruments (soprano saxophone, flutes, keyboards and drums)
and a rich repertory of experiences including associations with
such giants as Miles Davis and Elvin Jones.
In intensely personal tracks, Liebman deploys his vast musical resources
to point to extra-musical sources. “Hiroshima Memorial,”
for instance, was inspired by an early morning visit to the landmark
and is in memory of “Hiroshima and its victims, with a fervent
hope that nuclear energy will never be used in such a destructive
manner again.” As significant work by a significant artist,
Memories, Dreams and Reflections promises to stand as a cultural
and artistic landmark of American music in the 1980s. Galvanizing.

Liebman has the ability to touch the soul, eking from the wayward
straight horn an extraordinary depth of emotion and dramatic range.
His cantabile (singing) style, as identifiable as a human voice
in its emotional tone and dramatic role-playing, may, in a given
solo, conjure up anguish, ecstasy, anger, fear, hilarity, or haughtiness.
Liebman’s music is storytelling of a very high order: form,
content, accent, color, and mood are all in place, on cue.
Fred Bouchard, down beat

"It takes an artist to pull off this kind of bold experiment
and Liebman lives up to that role."
