A thunderous recording by saxophonist Liebman from the year 1974. Here the American saxophonist - and friends Abercrombie and Beirach - are flanked by no less than eight drummers and percussionists. To listen to "Drum Ode" is to swim in waves of rhythms, cross-rhythms, polyrhythms, to be carried along by tidal beats. At the time when he made "Drum Ode", Liebman was playing with the Miles Davis Group in its most electric/tribal groove period, and Miles's influence is clearly discernible here. If you like Drum Ode then you'd probably like the following: Trevor Watts Moiré Music Drum Orchestra, A Wider Embrace Pierre Favre Ensemble, Singing Drums Jack DeJohnette, Oneness John Abercrombie, Timeless Collin Walcott, Cloud Dance
