- As the saxophone/flautist in both the Elvin Jones and Miles Davis Groups of the late 60's/early 70's and having played along side other legends such as Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, McCoy Tyner and others, Dave represents a direct link to the masters who came before. However, he has not stayed there, he continues to push the musical jazz envelope, just as his mentors did in their day.
Liebman is among the most important saxophonists in contemporary music . . a leader and artist of integrity and independent direction. Downbeat Magazine
While others of his ‘60s generation have fallen off their ambition, Liebman has remained dogged about composition and trying different styles…he’s a fighter. Ben Ratliff-NY Times
Lieb discography is mind-blowing as he has played on over 500 hundred recordings with over two hundred under his leadership or co-leadership. In jazz education he is a renowned lecturer and author of several milestone books: Self Portrait Of A Jazz Artist, A Chromatic Approach To Jazz Harmony And Melody, Developing A Personal Saxophone Sound, in addition to teaching DVDs, journalistic contributions to periodicals and published chamber music. He is the Founder and Artistic Director of the International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ) existing since 1989. Awards include (Jazz Educators Network Legend of Jazz (2013); National Endowment of the Arts Masters of Jazz (2011); the Order of Arts and Letters (France 2009); Jazz Journalist’s award for Soprano Saxophone (2007); Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Solo (1998); Honorary Doctorate from the Sibelius Academy (Finland-1997). He is currently Artist in Residence at the Manhattan School of Music and has consistently placed in the top three places for Soprano Saxophone in the Downbeat Critic’s Poll since 1973, winning first place in both the Downbeat and Jazz Times Critic’s Poll in both 2011 and 2012.
With his quintet Expansions, Lieb is continuing the time worn tradition of master/apprentice as he experienced in the 1970’s being a member of groups lead by former Coltrane drummer Elvin Jones and the legendary Miles Davis. By reaching across generations, Lieb gains insight into the new directions that jazz has taken while offering these younger artists his experience and knowledge. “EXPANSIONS” features the up and coming pianist Bobby Avey, reedman Matt Vashlishan, drummer Alex Ritz while continuing his several decades relationship with bassist Tony Marino.
Can't get enough of this, thanks for posting this and thank you Mr. Liebman. God bless you.
Really?? I had enough of him being so "centered" before minute 10.

Hello SaxquestShop
this video is amazing and important. Liebman is a great teacher.
The recording however is way too low. would be happy to fix that
please contact me in private.
House with no name Studios im guessing they set the levels according to his horn, not his voice. it’s rare. but i have seen some instructional vids that mic both the voice and the horn and mix accordingly.
Open C# is also a real note
How do you spell the name of the saxophone brand he is playing on?
Julius Keilwerth？
no more uploads:(?
Yeah i
More videos? @saxquest
I bet this is the most nonsense music style ever seen kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
The stories from the encyclopedia of Lieb are entertaining, he's one accomplished dude , but strangely he doesn't know much about saxophone tone or equipment, he just doesn't have a grasp or feel for it, despite his wealth of stories.
Oddly a lot of teachers including Lieb--who studied with Allard when he was a kid-- get the Allard overtone stuff importantly wrong,--a relaxed face and stable embouchure over the entire range of the horn, while controlling/modifying the air pressure/tone with the throat, not with the muscles of the face. Lieb whatever he says does not play like this, look at his face and listen to him, that is the sound of rape. That soprano is plain nasty, he could fire poison blow darts out of that thing.
Despite this the music is exciting, I enjoy his new band a lot, God bless the Lieb.
Lean McHungry couldn’t agree more. I don’t care for his sound or anything he plays. Sounds like shit. He’s slightly more tolerable on soprano. I’ve put effort into trying to see what is so incredible about him but I just don’t get it.
@@JRM---516 I get his objectively shit sound, shit technique, unjustified ego, boring solos, boring tunes, etc
