Marc Liebeskind - Uma Chamada Brasileira (1991)

“From a long stay in New York and courses he followed with the masters of contemporary guitar, (John Scofield, John Abercrombie, Bill Frisell) Marc Liebeskind keeps some sensitive marks, but never these obscure a musical personality of great wealth. At the age of 35, the Genevan has achieved impressive instrumental mastery: profound knowledge of harmony, chords, voicings, refusal of daring, sensitive art of accompaniment, perpetual search for the roundness of the note and the purity of sound are the main constant of the guitarist’s game, whose stated ambition is to “play the fairest way to feel each note” and which recognizes Jim Hall among his major influences.
That is to say that the technical demonstration is not the first concern of Liebeskind, refined melodist, inspired improviser, but also composer of a surprising maturity, as we can see while listening to his first CD “Uma Chamada Brasileira “.
