Ended yesterday and started today with Open Sky a group led by David Liebman with their eponymous LP from 1973.

Liebman wrote:

"This group represents the first organized music I took an active part in with my long time associate, drummer Bob Moses and bassist Frank Tusa...The “Open Sky” recording was a live concert at the public radio station ,WBAI in New York City."

Eugene Chadbourne wrote in The Calgary Herald
"Open Sky is itself a skyward growth. Start side one and enter another dimension with the beckoning notes of Liebman's flute...

...The drum solo seems almost like the intense fast-paced scurrying flight of birds across the drums...

...Liebman and his trio have a free-flowing feel much like... well, an open sky. And Liebman constantly steps out of the blue to play intoxicating flute, soprano, and tenor sax."

Continued thread

"Other organizers included Ella Baker, Bob Moses, and David Dennis Sr. Only days before the 1964 convention, Dennis gave an impassioned eulogy at the funeral of James Chaney, the Freedom Summer volunteer who was killed along with Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman by Ku Klux Klansmen in Philadelphia, #Mississippi.

"That violence was fresh when Hamer testified about being evicted after trying to register to vote in 1962."
