The Music of Carla Bley: Late Carla, Part 4
Click the play button to listen
Carla Bley's career spanned 60 years and included big band, small group, and a few duet recordings with her long time partner Steve Swallow. The music ranged from raucous free jazz to meditative chamber music. Her distinctive music never had a large following, which was just fine with her. In 2018 Carla was diagnosed with brain cancer, which took her life in October of 2023. In this final hour of the music of Carla Bley, you'll hear her late recordings: the Lost Chords Quartet, duets with Steve Swallow and her last recording, Life Goes On (ECM Records, 2020) with Steve Swallow and Andy Sheppard.Tags
