With New Now, percussionist Adam Rudolph, soprano sax player Dave Liebman and drummer Tyshawn Sorey present powerful and innovative music recorded live at New York City’s iconic Jazz Gallery in the fall of 2021. Due out December 2, 2022 via Rudolph’s Meta Records, and Sorey’s Yeros7 record label, the CD marks the third in a series of trio recordings that Liebman and Rudolph have released.

The genesis of this threesome coming together seemed to be a quite natural one. Liebman and Rudolph began playing duo in 2016 and Sorey and Rudolph began performing as a percussion duet in 2018. Sorey states “we seemed so in sync with each other, in part, perhaps, because we are both composers as well as percussionists.”

When the opportunity arose to present a trio concept it seemed a natural step for these three artists of different generations to perform together. NEW NOW is the recorded document of that concert. Liebman, Sorey & Rudolph brought their unique and evolved rhythm and sonic languages to the fore, through inspired and spirited dialogue. The music flows as one complete piece with several movements or sections.

This music exists on its own terms reflecting the wonderful alchemy of these artists as they spontaneously created dialogues, orchestrations and sonic moods. According to Liebman, “For a “maiden voyage” meeting, the three of us were committed to open our ears and hearts. The results were magical.”

As Rudolph concurs, “You have to come to a creative situation like this with open ears, an open heart, and free-flowing imagination. The preparation is also years of practice, composing and performance so that we can be free to play anything we can imagine to play.”


From the liner notes by Adam Rudolph:
Even while receiving ancestral codes from the ancient aboriginal past and generating thought/feeling patterns which point to the multi-dimensional future unknown, this music resides completely in the present moment. The now is always new and sounds have their own reason for being. The music manifests the latency of the spiritual (wonderment) and takes on its meaning through the collective experience of all who played and witnessed it, as well as you, dear listener, who hear it now.
