Dave Liebman, Billy Hart & Adam Rudolph - Beingness (2026)

''Beingness is the source of inspiration which moves silence towards its manifestations as form in sound. Each gesture animates in the infinite space between thought and non-thought awareness. The fluidity of spontaneous sonic projections reflect the esssential being of nature, which is change'' - Adam Rudolph

''A voyage from the Corner to the Cosmos. As the tracks titles reveal, there's a connection to the authentic spiritual search and devotional imperative in jazz that goes all the way back to John Coltrane's A Love Supreme. It suggests an urgent call to engage in real inner work. Far galaxies become facets of the eternal soul. The macrocosm becomes the microcosm. It's the only Journey left to make'' - The Wire - Daniel Spicer

''The spontaneously-composed material on Beingness suggests the vast soundscape of a lost continent, maybe coming nearer to Pangaea or Panthalassa than Miles ever got. It’s truly the music of ‘the ancestors’, whilst never losing its ties to jazz: Liebman consistently conjures up powerful melodies from nowhere (with occasional unmistakable but maybe unintended nods to ‘Bitches Brew’), while Hart and Rudolph’s percussion dialogues ebb and flow.'' - Sounds Of Surprise - Matt Philips
