So this post is a re-post and upgrade to this post here. In the original post the the recording was 1 long file and it was MP3 vbr (variable rate). This post is lossless and has also been remastered by TomP. The work was pretty extensive, the result is fabulous. If you downloaded the original you need this upgrade!
Now if you haven't heard Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra this is the best introduction to the band I could think of. Charlie Haden formed the big band to bring Jazz into the world of protest music. Now it is an instrumental group but the music & titles are supposed to represent the idea. It is some great music and just look at that roster! I mean Dewey Redman, Joe Lovano, Paul Motian, it's really a who's who of brass as well! Look bottom line is that is really some great music!

This is show 1 of the BigO Jazz Archive that I kept (I'll be sharing more). I have quite a bit of their Jazz posts some of which I have shared before. So those of you who visited BigO frequently may have this one. I've included the notes from BigO's post below.
This show is a killer performance from a line-up you would expect nothing less from. Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian. Each one a Legend in his own right joining forces to blow a lot of minds in 1 hour. It doesn't get any better than this!
What BigO said about this post:
Thanks to TomP, ricola, Unclewolfi and goody for sharing the show at Dime.
+ + + + +
Because there was a problem with the audio in the original FM source, it was in mono which is what you’ll get in the first track here. Unclewolfi’s capture of the rest of the show is in brilliant and gorgeous stereo. There’s always a possibility of the station airing the complete show in stereo one day as they often do which will make this edition unnecessary, should it ever emerge.

JustDave's rambling:
So it's Sunday Morning and You're in the mood for some Jazz, who do you turn to? Is this a Smooth Jazz morning? Are you in the mood for something a little more something? If that's the case I don't have to tell you that with the Alice Coltrane Sextet you're in for a great ride. I have to point out my man Charlie Haden laying down the bass! I have a spot in my heart for bass players and drummers (I play both). I became a fan of Charlie by noticing his name. When I looked into his prolific career I was an instant fan. The man is perfect for Alice Coltrane's arraignments, this type of stuff is in his blood.
This is also from The NewJDP's BigO archive. The BigO comments are included below:
What BigO said:
Thanks to sleeve for sharing the show at Dime.
sleeve noted:
What’s there to say? Kinda nice to see an old fashioned vinyl boot in 2019. It’s been a long time since I uploaded anything here, time to give back… supposedly pressed in Germany. The sound is excellent for a boot, supposedly a soundboard recording, no other details. The performance, on the other hand, is incredible. The sarod/tabla duet parts are just the icing on the cake.
goody, Dime:
Wow - this shot right to the top of my ‘must play immediately’ list. Love it - great transfer! Sweet rhythm section too…
senormogul9, Dime:
(clap clap clap) Now, THIS is why i love this site, this is THE offering of the year in my book. This is DA SHIT! Thanks for sharing this with us. And thanks to the PervFesser for the artist list. Tonight, I raise a glass in your honor mr sleeve!

I have the original version of this show posted in MP3. This is a definite upgrade both in encoding and in sound. This classic show has been Remastered by the team of Lewojazz and Tom Phillips. If you look at the details it was like a complete overhaul and the proof is in the listening! This is a great show that pays tribute to the musicianship of quite a few legends and the arrangement talents of Carla Bley. Charlie Haden is no slouch at writing and arranging great Jazz music, but chose Carla Bley to arrange his Protest Jazz Band's music. Carla's feel is all over this performance. Carla always loved the use of brass in her arrangements as well as odd timings that made all of Carla's music instantly identifiable as well as extremely entertaining. I haven't even touched on the deep well of talented performers enlisted to make this music, Paul Motian, Dewey Redman, Don Cherry, as well as Bley, and Haden and a list of top notch sidemen who's names may have faded a bit but are just as talented as the bigger names they sit next to...This is an awesome way to spend your Sunday Morning Jazz time! Enjoy my friends....

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.

For our second Sunday Morning Jazz offering we have The Keith Jarret Quintet featuring Charlie Haden. I will be featuring Charlie Haden in some future posts as leader of his own band for now you can enjoy his bass talents with this talented Quintet.. This show features some great experimentation and improvisation, and is highly recommended. The first set is not complete, but this is the most complete version of this show in circulation.
