This is an upgrade to an earlier Carla Bley Christmas show. The previous show was posted in MP3 224kbps, this one is in Flac and includes 3 bonus tracks from a 2008 performance. If you haven't heard Carla's Christmas Carols then you really should download this show. Carla makes great use of the Brass section, even using tuba, French horn and flugelhorn to achieve a nice range of instrumental voices. This show is in as heavy of a Holiday Playlist rotation as Trans-Siberian Orchestra (that's huge, TSO is big with my family!). Rosebud even asks for it to be played, so you know it's not an Avant-Garde Jazz event. It's easily digestible by even the slightest of Jazz fans.

A little Carla Bley after everything slows down, just what the soul needs to relax and enjoy the morning (or what's left of it) with a cup of coffee and a little morning smoke to help slow things down. The deer are laying in my back yard again this morning, I think I have been adopted as a sanctuary for hunting season. I lived in the country for 7 years never had a deer lay in my yard...now I live in the city of Pontiac and deer and turkey are in my yard all the time. Smarter than the average hunter they are lol!

I have the original version of this show posted in MP3. This is a definite upgrade both in encoding and in sound. This classic show has been Remastered by the team of Lewojazz and Tom Phillips. If you look at the details it was like a complete overhaul and the proof is in the listening! This is a great show that pays tribute to the musicianship of quite a few legends and the arrangement talents of Carla Bley. Charlie Haden is no slouch at writing and arranging great Jazz music, but chose Carla Bley to arrange his Protest Jazz Band's music. Carla's feel is all over this performance. Carla always loved the use of brass in her arrangements as well as odd timings that made all of Carla's music instantly identifiable as well as extremely entertaining. I haven't even touched on the deep well of talented performers enlisted to make this music, Paul Motian, Dewey Redman, Don Cherry, as well as Bley, and Haden and a list of top notch sidemen who's names may have faded a bit but are just as talented as the bigger names they sit next to...This is an awesome way to spend your Sunday Morning Jazz time! Enjoy my friends....

I know we have a lot of Carla Bley fans among us so there is no reason to try to sell people on this show from 1978. Carla Bley wasn't just a talented keyboard player and song writer, she was an excellent arranger. Charlie Haden who's no slouch at all three himself had Carla Bley arrange his compositions for The Liberation Music Orchestra (a great band). Carla also worked with Jack Bruce when he decided on delving into Jazz. It was a sad day when the World Of Jazz lost Carla Bley in 2023. On October 17, 2023 she passed from brain cancer at age 87. This is for all you out there who still miss her like I do...

By the way I downloaded this from the blog The Luxor Dream which is hosted by Titus. Titus has a vast array of music on his site. He also did the fantastic remaster of this show and others on his site...check him out.

Some people have this dated as the 29th of August not the 30th. I left it as I received it but wanted to pass on the possible date as well.

While we were away Carla Bley died October 17, 2023 from brain cancer, she was 87. I am a big fan of Carla Bley as a writer and arranger. She has always been a little unconventional in her arraignments. Maybe this is why Charlie Haden chose her to lead the arrangements for his Liberation Music Orchestra, one of the first Jazz Protest Groups (maybe the only?). When Jack Bruce wanted to form a Jazz group, he used Carla Bley on organ. Carla has worked with many of the greats and not so famous players as well. Her talent will be terribly missed in the World Of Jazz.

This is a great show, very entertaining. Carla & the band a in a very good mood, laughing and joking with the audience. They actually play requests shouted from the audience. They even play Carla's reply to audience members who boo, "Boo To You Too". I love Carla Bley's music, I think she's a very talented composer, arranger, conductor, player. For a keyboard payer a lot of her arrangements and compositions are very brass heavy. As I said she's also a great player, when her long time musical partner, Steve Swallow, puts out solo material she is always included. The arrangements in that situation would always be Steve's. Carla also played in a Jack Bruce Jazz group, which she calls playing Rock & Roll.

To hear this great group of musicians play Charlie Haden's compositions led by original Arranger Directer Pianist Carla Bley is a fabulous musical treat. This is a fine sounding recording and performance that all Jazz fans could appreciate.

This Sunday Morning Jazz offering comes from a great Jazz Bootleg Site called Live Jazz Lounge. A wide variety of Jazz artists are available. All the shows are posted in the MP4 format (which is playable through most MP3 players) and include a front cover. If you like our weekly Jazz offerings I recommend checking them out.

Carla Bley, former wife of Jazz legend Paul Bley has recorded and performed with Gary Burton, Charlie Haden's Liberation Music, Nick Mason (of Pink Floyd), Jack Bruce (of Cream), The Jazz Composers Orchestra, and Steve Swallow to name a few. Her best known work is the Jazz Opera Escalator Over The Hill.
