Beingness brings together three masters of creative music: award-winning percussionist Adam Rudolph, soprano sax player and NEA Jazz Master Dave Liebman, and drummer and NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart.Available May 23, 2025 via Rudolph's Meta Records, the live album, recorded in the spring of 2023 at New York City's iconic creative music venue The Stone, marks the fourth in a series of trio recordings released by Liebman and Rudolph. The trio's genesis evolved naturally. Hart and Liebman, who met performing on Miles Davis' historic 1972 recording On the Corner, have played together for over 30 years in configurations including their Quest quartet. Liebman and Rudolph began playing as a duo in 2016, developing a trio with rotating drum chairs. "When we found out Tyshawn (Sorey) was unavailable for The Stone concert, Dave suggested we ask Billy Hart, " remembers Rudolph. "I enthusiastically agreed. I've admired Billy's playing since I first heard him with Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi Sextet at the Smiling Dog in Cleveland. I loved his playing then and I love it now." Working with Liebman and Hart was a dream come true for Rudolph. "Both Billy and Dave inspired me so much when I was a teenager first getting into playing music, " he said. "It was a real honor to create the spontaneous compositions on Beingness with these two masters." Together, Hart, Liebman and Rudolph bring decades of performance experience in the full range of contemporary jazz and creative improvised music.
