The Wide Open Suite & Noises At Sea
Liberty Ship
A step ahead for the adventurous quartet in collective improvisation.
The Wide Open Suote & Noises At Sea
Liberty Ship returns in spring 2015 with their second double album. After the undenieble artistic statement which was the 2013 debut ”Approaching”, the band continues to seek uncharted waters of creative expression in contemporary jazz music.
A bold double album: one acoustic CD, one electric, on which their music is adventurous, mysterious, creative and unpredictable.
