Haden, Charlie And The Liberation Music Orchestra 
Time/Life

Review: You really have to pay attention. The orchestra plays slow, long, multi-textured arrangements that are very engaging. This CD contains the final performance of Haden with the orchestra plus 3 tracks arranged by Carla Bley with Steve Swallow filling in for Haden
