Almost three decades separate the release of Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra debut and this set from an almost entirely different band. In truth, however, much of the lineup on this recording dates back to the time Haden recorded Dream Keeper. Recorded in 1989 as part of an eight-day tribute to Haden held at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, this hour of music centers on two long suites, "We Shall Overcome" from Dream Keeper, and the more cohesive "La Pasionaria" from Ballad Of The Fallen. With Joe Lovano and trumpeters Stanton Davis and Tom Harrell taking either leading melodic roles or remarkable solos, the band isn't wanting for topnotch talent. But once you get to "We Shall Overcome", its loose-formed melange of jazz styles--spread over 37 minutes--comes off a little too cavalierly. It's a party on the stage, to be sure, as you can hear band members revelling in the folksy root melody and the scrappy quote-rich tour of jazz history. It's still a rare treat to hear this band at work and Haden's solos are in their usually imaginative form. --Andrew Bartlett  Binding Audio CD.  Artist(s): Charlie Liberation Music Haden.  Publisher(s): Polygram Records.  Label: Polygram Records.  Format: Import.
