Carla Bley's Lost Chords at Yoshi's
by Roy Strassman
Carla Bley Yoshi's Oakland, CA September 14, 2005 Last night I slid into Yoshi's a few minutes late and the band was called “out . With seemingly a stellar cast of musicians I was dismayed when the music began with what sounded like a hoaky, low-key bossa nova. ...
Carla Bley: The Lost Chords
by Brian P. Lonergan
Pianist Carla Bley's supple Lost Chords quartet is a bit like a group of longtime dance partners--the individuals move in sure step together, but leave each other ample freedom to move.

The Lost Chords finds Ms. Bley leading a highly interactive quartet in a live session that offers both depth and ...

by John Kelman

Carla Bley: Rarum XV: Selected Recordings
by Norman Weinstein
ECM has recorded the gifted and goofy composer and keyboardist Carla Bley for three decades, and this single disc career retrospective is a brilliantly compiled testimony to the breath and depth of Bley's singular talent. Until Bley, humor in jazz was primitively realized at best (e.g. vaudeville antics of Slim & Slam, Dizzy's hipster's jokes). She ...

The Carla Bley Big Band: Looking for America
by C. Michael Bailey
Carla Bley is the love child of Duke Ellington, Gil Evans, and Charles Ives. But still, that does not seem to tell the whole story. Born into a musical family, pre-war, on the West Coast, Bley naturally became a musician and spent a good deal of time in church to boot. The latter of these biographical ...
