Funny that because until this LP I too hadn't really been grabbed by anything of Liebman's. I came to the Open Sky LPs through Bob Moses.

 Have you found anything subsequently that has consolidated the cool and original Liebman view?  I'm thinking I might explore a bit more

May I chip in and recommend "First Visit" (Philips Japan 1973 - with Richie Beirach, Dave Holland and Jack De Johnette)?

If you like Trane and Ali on "Interstellar Space", you should really hear the title track...

Yeah, this Japanese pressing sounds a bit better than my US issue (which, to be fair, was kinda ratty).

Agreed! But there are three japanese pressings: http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/sweetearthflying.html

This album features also a beautiful performance of "Round Midnight" ....

This is a good example of fine Dave Liebman.

Open Sky - s/t [PM Music]

David Liebman - Sweet Hands [Horizon A&M]

the former has dated less than the latter

and now...

Masahiko Togashi Quartet - We Now Create, Music For Strings, Winds And Percussion [JVC]

which sounds bang up to date

[clifford_thornton]

We Now Create is awesome. Have the same pressing -- would love a gatefold original but then again, have had spotty luck on the sound of those green label Japanese Victors...

[mjazzg]

It astounds me every time I listen to it. I've not owned it for long but I'm sure it's not just novelty. It sounds so fresh and vital. It's one of those few albums I have where I always find it difficult to choose what to play next - often silence is the answer for a while

I have this board to thank for discovering Togashi. Initially a post by Jeffcrom of "Spiritual Nature" then subsequent posts by your good self  and Homefromtheforest have kept the fire stoked

[clifford_thornton]

Spiritual Nature is awesome. I bought that JVC LP of We Now Create maybe 10 years ago and it was one of the first Japanese avant-garde LPs I picked up. Of course there are a lot of records in that category, many of them quite good, but Togashi's consistently remain among the best.

Circle - Paris Concert [ECM]

I was interested to discover elsewhere on the board today that there are two other live Circle albums about which I knew nothing

And, more importantly, which are both far superior to the ECM.

That's good to hear as I've just bought a copy of each

[corto maltese]

Good!

And even if you don't like them, they at least look better than that boring yellow cover.
