David Liebman - Picture Show (2021)

• 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.

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