Paul Lieberman at Chianti Tuscan Restaurant and Jazz Lounge

"Ibeji" Live! Performing the music from his new critically acclaimed CD, saxophonist and flutist Paul Lieberman looks at Brazilian music and American Jazz as twin children of Mother Africa, separated at birth and sent off to distant parts of the world, and now reunited to explore how they are the same because they're twins, and how they're different because of where they grew up.

Reviewers say:
"Lieberman, [who] is a soulful player on any instrument, conveying deep emotional content...demonstrates his instrumental mastery and also reveals himself as a formidable composer" in this “stunning, heartfelt, and emotional” debut recording...

"Ibeji" Live! Performing the music from his new critically acclaimed CD, saxophonist and flutist Paul Lieberman looks at Brazilian music and American Jazz as twin children of Mother Africa, separated at birth and sent off to distant parts of the world, and now reunited to explore how they are the same because they're twins, and how they're different because of where they grew up.

Reviewers say:
"Lieberman, [who] is a soulful player on any instrument, conveying deep emotional content...demonstrates his instrumental mastery and also reveals himself as a formidable composer" in this “stunning, heartfelt, and emotional” debut recording. The “sparkling originals” and “fascinating” arrangements “enchant” and “celebrate life to its fullest” in this “beguiling mix”. “Blessed with 2 cracker-jack rhythm sections” the “oh-so-sweet” CD “shines” with “‘soul’ music through and through” that “combines technique, intelligence, experience, emotions, and risk-taking that pushes the musician beyond the ordinary or the commonplace.” With “one of the best covers of a Beatles tune by a jazz player, a beat that floats on every track and pervasive ensemble joie de vivre”, and an original that “sent chills up my spine” it “will undoubtedly receive some Top Ten recognition” this year."
