Time/Life centers around two live recordings-the final recordings with Charlie Haden and his Liberation Music Orchestra--from the 2011 Middelheim Festival: Haden's 1979 composition Song for the Whales and Miles Davis' Blue In Green, both arranged for orchestra by Carla Bley. After Haden's death in 2014, the LMO, with the help of Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, and Ruth Cameron, recorded three works by Bley to create an album that honored Haden and his concern for the environment. This is that tribute.
