Dave Liebman to release new album Trust and Honesty
“Good musicians keep chipping away at the veneer that keeps them separated from us. Showing the world who they are. And when they were,” Mehler writes in the liner notes. “This music freezes a moment. It could only have been created on February 12, 2022. You couldn’t reconstruct it with a thousand days in the studio. It’s an exercise in exposure, even for someone who has had as vaulted a career as Dave Liebman. When you are doing it right, there’s nowhere to hide.”
Newvelle’s Renewal Collection is a four-album limited series affirming the resilience of music through the anguish and loss of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was recorded and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Marc Urselli at New York’s East Side Sound between November, 2021, and March, 2022, and mastered by Josh Bonati.
Last year, Liebman released Selflessness, a nine-track album that paid tribute to John Coltrane.
Here’s the track listing:
- Designs
- Lover Man
- Time Remembered*
- Come Rain or Come Shine
- Stella By Starlight
- Blind Pig*
- Moon and Sand
- Blue & Green
- Bye Bye Blackbird
- Zingaro
*digital only
Dave Liebman’s Trust and Honesty will be released Nov. 11, 2022, via Newvelle Records.
