Leibowitz’s solo recital gives the impression-based on the titles and packaging imagery-of being in the cosmic tradition of Free expressionism. While his style bears some similarities to the traditions of Alice Coltrane, Taylor and others, his approach is more structured by far. He uses conventional chord progressions, harmonies, and motifs as guideposts on his journey. In some ways, the feel and structure of the record are closer to a Keith Jarret solo recital. Leibowitz is all over the keyboard, exploring as many registers and moods as possible.
A student of Connie Crothers, his style also has traces of the linear, knotted approach of Lennie Tristano. All told, it’s an interesting, stylistic synthesis of measure and exuburance, form and freedom, light and shade. What unites the various approaches-from the relative barrage of “Terra’s Ascension” to the fragile lyricism of “Pleiadian Soundscape” -is Leibowitz’s intensity and focus…this is a pretty rich program of music.
