“Leibowitz’s solo recital gives the impression-based on the titles and packaging imagery-of being in the cosmic tradition of Free expressionism. While his style bears some similarities to the traditions of Alice Coltrane, Taylor and others, his approach is more structured by far. He uses conventional chord progressions, harmonies, and motifs as guideposts on his journey. In some ways, the feel and structure of the record are closer to a Keith Jarret solo recital. Leibowitz is all over the keyboard, exploring as many registers and moods as possible.
But a student of Connie Crothers, his style also has traces of the linear,
knotted approach of Lennie Tristano. All told, it’s an interesting, stylistic synthesis of measure and exuburance, form and freedom, light and shade. What unites the various approaches-from the relative barrage of “Terra’s Ascension” to the fragile lyricism of “Pleiadian Soundscape”
-is Leibowitz’s intensity and focus…this is a pretty rich program of music.”

 "His playing reveals a healthy regard for the blues, hard bop, the harmonic depths of early Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett's classically tinged traditionalism... the kind of recordings that give more with each listening".

Piano Mountain / Mohegan Spirits / Into The Dark / Lonely / Patience NEW mp3!
 Lonnie's second release is an inspired masterpiece of composition and live recording, featuring Drew Gress on Bass and Drori Mondlack on Drums.
Lonnie goes beyond his roots into a realm of exploration to create a montage that reflects his passion for inventive melodies and diverse cultural rhythms. Expanding the collection of original compositions are three standards: Barbados - a calypso version of Charlie Parker's blues, You Don't Know What Love Is, and I Fall In Love Too Easily.
Completing the package, contained with the liner notes are six previously unpublished pieces of Lonnie's original poetry that accompany the musical compositions.
"Leibowitz is a fascinating pianist; while he seems to be exceptionally busy - with his hands all over the place - his playing is coherent rather than just busy. He plays lines that sound as if they've been inverted, chords that have been stood on their head, and he often manages to sound like he's playing a solo that's essentially chords and single note runs at the same time. Were I a pianist, I'd probably want to spend some time figuring out exactly what Leibowitz is doing."
"...his playing can be so gripping and inventive...I found myself paying close attention to what Leibowitz was playing."
"...they (the trio) listen to each other play almost as if they are one, rather than a trio of individuals... fine performances from talented musicians."
