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....

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.

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!
