The Guardian

The first Liberation Music Orchestra formed in 1969, to play instrumental-jazz remakes of freedom songs from the Spanish civil war in protest against the American bombing of Cambodia. It was reignited by Ronald Reagan's foreign policies in 1982, came back for George Bush Sr in 1989, and again last year in the wake of what leader and bassist Charlie Haden saw as George Dubya's theft of the presidential election.
But agitprop this isn't. Haden and arranger Carla Bley embrace humanity by mirroring diversity in music; they counter dogma through wit, warmth and ambiguity. Bley, talking to the Guardian last year, was even concerned that Haden might find her latest work for the band too playful and ironic. But Not in Our Name balances Bley's quirkiness, Haden's seriousness, strong compositions and spirited improvisation more successfully than on any Liberation Music Orchestra album since the first one. It isn't an angry outburst - more a passionate eulogy for American virtues strong enough to survive times like these.
With the exception of David Bowie's This Is Not America (which features Miguel Zenon's fluent alto sax swooping around a reggae beat), all the pieces are by American composers, including Haden's former boss, Ornette Coleman (Skies of America), and Samuel Barber (Adagio for Strings, given an exquisite brass-and-reeds reworking as the finale). A typically ghostly Bley/Nino Rota vibe turns into a tattoo and brass fanfare reminiscent of the 1970s Liberation band.
The centrepiece is an America the Beautiful medley, opening with its familiar harmonies skewed, then passing through swing, gospel, free-jazz and a delicately querulous trombone solo in place of the dignified proclamation of the straight version. Haden has said he dedicates his music to an America worthy of the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr, and the majesty of the Statue of Liberty. This gets pretty close. ~John Fordham in The Guardian, Friday 16 September 2005
