Paul Bley: Solo In Mondsee
by Martin Gladu
The body may feel a bit tired, but the resolute, searching mind, is still very much intact; as sharp as an eagle's eye and as terrifying as a boxer's aim. Pianist Paul Bley has been searching relentlessly for half a century, yet his playing remains as fresh as spring water. His phrases are still as temperamental ...
Paul Bley/Archie Shepp/Bill Dixon/Cecil Taylor: Imagine the Sound
by Greg Camphire
Paul Bley/Archie Shepp/Bill Dixon/Cecil Taylor Imagine the Sound Films We Like 1981/2007 The state of jazz in America in 1981 has remained a sort of lost history, in no small part due to the resounding indifference met by a brilliant film of the same year: Imagine the Sound. Now, with ...
Paul Bley - Kresten Osgood: Florida
by AAJ Italy Staff
Basterebbe un solo ascolto di “Darkness”, la prima traccia, per lasciare senza fiato chiunque decida di avvicinarsi al presente lavoro: due minuti e mezzo sospesi tra silenzio ed emozione, un autentico distillato di sobrietà, commozione e inventiva. Chi segue Paul Bley fin dai tempi del leggendario Open to Love (anno di grazia 1972), sa benissimo a ...
Paul Bley: Solo in Mondsee
by Budd Kopman
Paul Bley will be seventy-five in November, 2007 and has been recording for over fifty years, taking part in every revolution in jazz since 1950. Famously competitive and a tireless introspector, Bley is recognizable not so much by a particular style, but by his restless attitude and intensity, and perhaps the solidity of each note played. ...
Paul Bley: Solo in Mondsee
by John Kelman
It's been thirty-five years since pianist Paul Bley released Open, to love (ECM, 1972), an early classic of the then-nascent German record label. While Keith Jarrett's Facing You, from the same year, would go on to generate greater acclaim for the young pianist, listening to these two discs side-by-side reveals Bley's unmistakable influence. Despite ongoing critical ...
Paul Bley: Stopping Time
by Chris Comer
Listen Chris Comer talked to the influential and iconic free-jazz pianist Paul Bley upon the release of his first trio recording with Gary Peacock and Paul Motian in over 35 years, Not Two, Not One on ECM in April 2000. Since the 1950's Paul Bley's career has spanned many stylistic changes in jazz and Mr. Bley ...
Paul Bley / Kresten Osgood: Florida
by Troy Collins
"Without Paul Bley, there would be no Keith Jarrett" is conventional jazz wisdom perhaps, but worth repeating. Bley's expansive and unfettered approach to the keyboard (acoustic and electric) has provided a viable alternative for generations of artists seeking a creative path beyond the kinetic tendencies of Bley's principle peer, Cecil Taylor. Bley, now 75, ...
Paul Bley: Turning Points
by A. Henkin
In the pantheon of jazz, certain players are spoken of as upholding or continuing a particular lineage while others are given their own chapter in the book--their body of work something for others to uphold and continue. Paul Bley is one of the latter, a pianist who for over 50 years has participated in every stylistic ...
