Carla Bley Trio/Sweden 2019

Carla Bley, who will turn 83 this year, has established a firm position in the scene as a composer, pianist, and supporter of musicians’ activities, and two longtime friends: Andy Shepherd (saxophone) and Steve Swallow (bass). )’s latest live performance with a trio is truly amazing… Carla Bley is one of the most talented composers since Bop, and is also an excellent pianist. Carla’s trio, who turned 83 years old this year, just performed a live performance at Fasching Jazz Club in Stockholm, Sweden on October 14, 2019, on an extremely high-quality stereo soundboard that has been carefully mastered by the label. A 2-disc set completely recorded over an hour and a half has arrived! ! The stage performance centered on Carla’s works, which were written with free ideas, without being bound by the harmonies, structures, rhythms, etc. that had been the norm for jazz up until that point. The world that relies on its own melody lines and chord progressions, without being bound by established idioms, is truly unique. That’s why Carla’s music is always fresh and never boring. The ensemble created by Swallow’s bass and Shepard’s saxophone, which intertwine with Carla’s piano as if having a conversation, makes each song feel like its own story and is worth listening to. This arrangement is one of the ideal formats for listening to her works, and the interplay between the three of them creates an exquisite taste, and the composer’s face can be seen in each note of Carla’s piano. It’s typical of Carla that the details of his compositions are surprising, and although they are original, they are not intrusive, making them easy to listen to.
