| | Haden continued to perform in the 1980s, and in 1982 recorded with a new Liberation Music Orchestra made up of members of Carla Bley's group and Old and New Dreams; the band toured the USA into the mid-1980s. | | | Although he has preformed principally as a sideman, Haden won critical attention in 1969 with his own album Liberation Music Orchestra, which consisted of a number of revolutionary and freedom songs, including Haden's own composition Song for Che. | | | In 1976, with Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, and Ed Blackwell (all former sidemen with Coleman), Haden formed the group Old and New Dreams, and the same year he recorded an outstanding series of duets with various musicians, which were issued on two albums. |

| | Charlie Haden |
| | A January 31, Minneapolis Tribune article on Haden describes the willingness of Haden to act on the belief that "music can't be separated from politics." In 1971, while appearing with saxophonist Ornette Coleman at a festival in Lisbon, Portugal, Haden dedicated his "Song for Che," to the black liberation movements in the Portuguese African colonies. | | | Charlie Haden made his musical debut with a version of "Little Sir Echo." | | | I have been moved to write about jazz bassist Charlie Haden after listening to his latest and greatest CD, "The Art of the Song". |

| | Throughout the 1980s, Haden particpated in numerous bands and collaborations, working with musicians as varied as composer Gavin Bryars, guitarist Pat Metheny, and trumpeter Chet Baker (participating in one of the final recording sessions prior to Baker's death in 1988). | | | Born into a music-centered family, Charlie Haden began performing country & western music both on tour and on the family's daily radio broadcasts at a very young age. | | | In 1969 he collaborated with composer Carla Bley to create the Liberation Music Orchestra, a band whose music carried strong political themes - and as a result incited conservative record company shareholders to attempt to prevent its release. |

| | Charlie Haden: Montreal Tapes Vol.1 - Wal-Mart |
| | Haden continued his interest in politically motivated music in 1991 when he issued an album with Carlos Paredes, a Portuguese fado musician who had been an active anti-Fascist and also released a third Liberation Music Orchestra album, Dream Keeper, the title track a suite based on a poem by the African American writer Langston Hughes. | | | Haden began his musical career when still a child, broadcasting daily on local country music radio. | | | Along with Crisis, a recording of a concert from a tour which Haden made with Ornette Coleman in 1969, Liberation Music Orchestra has the distinction of being the object of an attempt by the record companies' shareholders to withdraw it from the catalogue because of its "anti-American" content. |

| | Haden will always be associated with the free school of jazz and Metheny with his own sound, a blend of jazz, pop, and Latin music. | | | Charlie Haden calls the music of Pat Metheny "contemporary impressionistic Americana." This is an accurate description of the music in Beyond the Missouri Sky, depicting a land of endless skies, sunsets, dreams and restlessness. | | | Spiritual, written by Haden's son Josh, closes the album and is composed in the true Haden spirit. |

| | Charlie Haden: Liberation Music Orchestra ---Ink Blot Magazine |
| | Haden's anti-fascist political overtones are the prism through which these nine songs are refracted. | | | On this amazingly complex and ambitious record, which debuted the Liberation Music Orchestra, the bassist taps into this diversity and versatility to create a stirring and passionate statement. | | | It's a rare orchestra that can move from Ornette Coleman's unsettling "War Orphans" to Bley's playful and wobbling "The Interlude (Drinking Music)" to a stately, tension-releasing reading of Pete Seeger's "We Shall Overcome." Play this album for your simple-minded friends who believe jazz is nothing more than background music for candlelight dinners. |

| | Review of Now is the Hour, Charlie Haden and Quartet West |
| | For those who like their jazz a tad more rambunctious and quartet-like, Haden and the group present an admirable version of Charlie Parker's "Back Home Blues." Staying with the mellow, nostalgic sound yet a bit more intimate than the string orchestra-laden songs is "All Through The Night," a Cole Porter song. | | | For those who like their jazz mellow and soothing, this album fits the bill. | | | You can't judge an album by its cover, or perhaps you can. |
