The inspiration for the album came when Haden heard songs from the Spanish Civil War.

"After the minority plank on Vietnam was defeated in a vote taken on the convention floor, the California and New York delegations spontaneously began to sing 'We Shall Overcome' [the last track on the album] in protest. Unable to gain control of the floor, the rostrum instructed the convention orchestra to drown out the singing. 'You're a Grand Old Flag' and 'Happy Days Are Here Again' could then be heard trying to stifle 'We Shall Overcome'. To me this told the story, in music, of what was happening in our country politically." (Charlie Haden, original liner notes)

In "Circus '68 '69" the musicians are thus divided into two bands in recreation of the events on the convention floor. We Shall Overcome is a protest song that became a key anthem of the US civil rights movement. ...


The Liberation Music Orchestra's next album, The Ballad of the Fallen, didn't appear until 1983.

European classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2474 words)
Classical music is a broad, somewhat imprecise term, referring to music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of, European art, ecclesiastical and concert music, encompassing a broad period from roughly 1000 to the present day.
The term classical music did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to "canonize" the period from Bach to Beethoven as an era in music parallel to the golden age of sculpture, architecture and art of classical antiquity (from which no music has directly survived).
Improvisation in classical music performance was far more common during the Baroque era than in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and recently the performance of such music by modern classical musicians has been enriched by a revival of the old improvisational practices.
Charlie Haden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (712 words)
Haden was born in Iowa, and raised in a musical family, which often performed together on the radio playing country music and American folk songs.
Largely arranged by Carla Bley, their music was very experimental, exploring the realms of free jazz and political music at the same time; specifically, the LMO's first album focused on the Spanish Civil War.
This thematic exploration of genres of music not typically considered to be a jazz standard became one of Haden's signature approaches with his Quartet West.
