Liebman/Jackson/Stern
Back On The Corner
The Story
Multi-instrumentalist Dave Liebman writes about his new Tone Center recording "Back On The Corner", "It happens to be that the first music I liked as a kid growing up in Brooklyn, NY was '50s rock 'n' roll with the tenor sax front and center as the main soloing instrument (stylistically bowing with more than a nod to the rhythm and blues honking style), before I heard Coltrane and jazz. So playing Miles' music was sort of a natural extension for me. This recording celebrates those musical roots as well as a look back to Miles Davis' 1972 "On The Corner" recording. To make it a bit different and unique I decided to double up the bass and guitar chairs, adding Anthony Jackson (contrabass guitar) and former Miles sideman, Mike Stern on guitar." "Back On The Corner" is divided into 11 distinct tracks, but really is a concept album at heart, and functions as a unified whole, from the first track "5th Street" to the closing cut "J.B."
