David Liebman is considered
a renaissance man in contemporary music with a career stretching over forty
years. He has played with many of the masters including Miles Davis, Elvin
Jones, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, McCoy Tyner and others; authored books and
instructional DVDs which are acknowledged as classics in the jazz field;
recorded as a leader in styles ranging from classical to rock to free jazz;
founded the International Association of Schools of Jazz; a multiple Grammy
nominee; an inductee into the International Association of Jazz Educator's Hall
of Fame; the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from the Sibelius Academy in
Helsinki, Finland, as well as the Order of Arts and Letters from the French
government. He has consistently placed among the top finalists in the Soprano
Saxophone category in the Downbeat Critics Poll since 1973 and has to his
credit over 100 recordings as a leader/co-leader including several hundred
original compositions. 

As a respected educator,
he says, "I have been part of this spread of teaching jazz for
over 30 years. This new generation … are well studied and very world-oriented.
They understand rhythms and harmonies from all over the planet and are changing
the way modern jazz is articulated. On a more personal level, I don’t want to
be stuck in a stylistic vacuum. I want to see what the young folks are doing
and add that to my personal language.”
