Reviewed: 2020—03-08 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Saxophonist Liebman has reformed his Expansions band for a new outing. This time, they attempt to translate earth vibrations into music by riffing off of different areas of the planet. Endlessly interesting, spacy & improvisational. If You Like: Weather Report, Jan Garbarek, Roscoe Mitchell Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ Earth Theme (3:24) – spacey synth starts> slow tempo space jam> slow fade 2/ Bass Interlude (1:29) – piano starts> slow tempo jam> slow fade *3/ Volcano/Avalanche (5:18) -sax starts on a high note> midtempo hesitating jam morphs into space jam> builds into off-kilter fast tempo jam> morphs into heavy midtempo space jam> quick stop> fade 4/ Percussion/Flute Interlude (2:11) – percussion starts> midtempo duet with flute> fade **5/ The Sahara (6:31) – sax starts> midtempo off-kilter jam> fade 6/ Soprano Saxophone Interlude (0:59) – sax solo 7/ Grand Canyon/ Mt.
