LIBERA ME features music recorded by Swedish bassist Lars Danielsson.
This release features one bonus track, "Asnah."
This intriguing set features the compositions and bass playing of Lars Danielsson. The music is beautifully recorded, often sparse ( la ECM) and thoughtful. The instrumentation varies from track-to-track even if the mood tends to stay quiet and reflective. Soprano-saxophonist David Liebman is featured on "Libera Me," singer Caecilie Norby has a guest pop vocal on "Newborne Broken," and the Danish Radio Concert Orchestra is heard with their huge string section on a few numbers, sometimes sounding a little sleepy. Other than a few spots for Nils Petter Molvaer's introspective trumpet, most of the other solos are by bassist Danielsson. This melodic set works well as both background music and for close listening although it develops slowly. ~ Scott Yanow
Critic Reviews

JazzTimes (p.87) - "The wide, deep sonic field made possible by 5.1 channel SACD is like an irresistible embrace by clouds of sound."
