Two of these five pieces were recorded at the Middelheim Jazz Festival in Antwerp and are the ones in which Charlie is playing. So with Carla Bley’s ingenious arrangements, the Liberation Music Orchestra delivered a luxuriant rendering of Bill Evans - Miles Davis Blue in Green and an evocative exploration through Song for the Whales, a lamenting composition Haden penned in 1979, and first recorded with the band Old and New Dreams.

Bertrand Flamang, the Antwerp festival director, wanted the thematic focus for that year to be on the environment. Four years later in August, the Liberation Music Orchestra performed at the Middelheim Jazz Festival in Antwerp, Belgium. The concept for Time/Life originated in 2007 when Charlie felt the environment was being abused to such a dangerous extent that they had to speak out about it. This album also documents his latest recordings with the orchestra in 2011.
