<a href="https://musicianguide.com/biographies/1608000262/Carla-Bley.html">Carla Bley</a> , jazz composer, pianist, organist and bandleader, died today aged 87 <br> <br /><br />Best known for her jazz opera (or chronotransduction as the album sleeve called it) <a href="https://youtu.be/PjlgwwEevzQ?si=znVvI8CnBs3Ldv7B">Escalator Over the Hill</a>, released in a three LP boxed set in 1971, she worked with a vast number of people over her career including, from the rock side of the fence, Jack Bruce, Robert Wyatt and Nick Mason (who's solo album <a href="https://youtu.be/ZZwPMZ0gbQs?si=CPyAuk9vsCd8oAyv">Fictitious Sports</a> is a Bley album in all but name).<br>
Here's her beautiful <a href="https://youtu.be/CX7kaeTgLSo?si=tmKUP28HB8k8usdn">Lawns</a> from '87.<br>
"<em>I feel proud and sort of like a shining example, mainly because I'm independent. I don't belong to a stable. I'm not a pet of the recording industry. I put out my own records. We book our own band. I have my own publishing company. I have my own recording studio. Everything I do is totally controlled by me.</em>"post:www.metafilter.com,2023:site.201069Tue, 17 Oct 2023 11:07:02 -0800thatwhichfallsCarlableyCarlableyjazzBy: adekllny

I had no idea she was that old. She was a staple player on lots Of ECM records I got into as I gave up on pop and into jazz. I still got a couple she did with Steve Swallow.

What an incredible inspiration. Her music is such a marvel. A lot of scores are available on her <a href="http://www.wattxtrawatt.com/library.html">website</a>. Lawns is great and I really appreciate the night music <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUwINMW0MbI">rendition</a>, followed by Healing Power.comment:www.metafilter.com,2023:site.201069-8468268Tue, 17 Oct 2023 11:46:21 -0800nicolinBy: nicolin

I remember seeing her on <em>Night Moves</em>, playing a medley of <em>Lawns</em> and <em>Soul Power</em> with the entire house band and Bootsy Collins. Opened up the world for me with that.comment:www.metafilter.com,2023:site.201069-8468308Tue, 17 Oct 2023 12:43:42 -0800RakDaddyBy: RakDaddy

Wait, what? No, oh no! She couldn't be that old! She was supposed to tour the US with dates that were convenient for me to see her! OMG!
She did a lot of stuff I really really love. And even when I didn't love it, it was always worthwhile. It's weird to describe music as "confrontational" and mean it in a good way, but that's what she did. Along with music that was comforting or questioning or whatever else.
I'm so glad to have the music from her that haunts my life. I'm lucky in that I haven't exhausted her catalog so I have much left to discover. And we are all blessed for her being here and contributing to the art on our planet.

I guess I should say, I love a lot of her work both in small and large ensemble forms, but the piece that really sparked me off into wanting to explore her more was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWRY9GZ79CY">Wrong Key Donkey</a>.

Oh wow, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUmsIzFNuIY">here's an apparently really rare 30 minute documentary from 1992</a> showing her working on a piece for the Glasgow International Jazz Festival. It's got really dynamic music sections and really interesting interview segments. I feel like it gives you a sense over a short amount of time the kind of magic she strove to create with her music, if you aren't familiar with her already. I'd never seen this before tonight, and it's left me feeling energized and happy for having seen it.comment:www.metafilter.com,2023:site.201069-8468504Tue, 17 Oct 2023 19:52:12 -0800hippybearBy: trip and a half

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
