The Santa Fe Sessions
The Story
"The Santa Fe Sessions" is not a compilation of Ottmar Liebert's old recordings. It is not a "Best of..." album. "The Santa Fe Sessions" contain new recordings of ten compositions that first appeared in different form on albums released between 1990 and 1995 plus two new compositions. The new versions of older compositions were inspired by the songs themselves changing (improving?) over the course of performing them hundreds of times live. Most of them have grown new introductions, new appendages and new textures. Liebert decided to capture some of this growth this year with this new recording.
