Ottmar’s first CD was released during Santa Fe’s Indian Market, in August of 1989. The album was a collaboration between Liebert, who wrote and recorded the music and Frank Howell, who contributed drawings and poetry. Frank Howell’s printshop Master Editions produced 1,000 covers and as many CDs were manufactured. The edition was sold out by the end of the year, and Higher Octave Music signed Liebert to re-master and re-release the music under the title Nouveau Flamenco.
