Description
First time on vinyl for this early '90s recording from the great American pianist Paul Bley - 180g audiophile vinyl.
One of the most original musicians of our time pianist Paul Bley passed away in 2016 at the age of 83. He left immeasurable influence on the generations of piano players behind him. He was married to Swedish - American pianist/composer Carla Bley in the 50s. Carla's compositions occupied larger part of his repertoire then.
"(This CD) features ten pieces by Carla Bley, his former wife, that he has been playing for thirty years but he's still finding new things in them. Some of these tunes are surprisingly frisky given Bley's austere reputation...this is another excellent one, edgy, tart and brimming with tension and passion." - Jerome Wilson, Cadence
