Acclaimed jazz bassist Charlie Haden and pianist Carla Bley founded the Liberation Music Orchestra in 1969. In 2005, the band recorded its fourth album in 35 years, Not In Our Name, demonstrating their opposition, as Americans, to the wars of the Bush administration. In the liner notes to Not In Our Name, Haden states: “So now, although we lost the election, we have not lost the commitment to reclaim our country in the name of humanity and decency. Don’t give up—the struggle continues!”
