There is no better way I can think of to pay tribute to The Late Great Charlie Haden than to put together a performance of his group The Liberation Music Orchestra. To hear this great group of musicians play Charlie Haden's compositions led by original Arranger Directer Pianist Carla Bley is a fabulous musical treat. This is a fine sounding recording and performance that all Jazz fans could appreciate.
