Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra A Concert for Social Justice!

Charlie Haden passed away in 2014 but his Liberation Music Orchestra lives on. We saw them playing, again with arrangements by Carla Bley, at le Poisson Rouge in the West Village, on my 69th Birthday earlier in January. We last saw them playing at the Village Vanguard in 2004 with Charlie Haden and Carla Bley, that too was a memorable evening. 

IN SPIRIT OF SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
we pay tribute to CHARLIE HADEN

“I have always dreamed of a world without cruelty and greed; of a humanity with the same creative brilliance of our solar system; of an America worthy of the dreams of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the majesty of the Statue of Liberty.” – Charlie Haden
