Paul Bley Trio Gary Peacock Paul Bley Gary Peacock/CA,USA 1976

A live album that fans will love has been released, recorded in excellent sound quality from a broadcast source, featuring a precious live performance at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco from the 1976 American tour. The masterpiece “Japan Suite” was released by the label “Improvising Artists” founded by Bley himself, and was an album recording the stage at the Yamaha Music Festival held at the Nemu no Sato Outdoor Hall in Mie Prefecture in July of the same year. This live performance released this time is a “Three-phase AC” live performance with Gary Peacock on bass and Barry Altschul on drums, and can be said to be a sequel to “Japan Suite,” but it is noteworthy that the songs recorded are completely different. The first song is surprising, Carla Bley’s “Vashkar” from the album “Footloose” released in 1963. The set list is also full of interesting songs from the masterpiece “Turning Point.” The sound quality is recorded for broadcast, so you can listen to it without any stress. A masterpiece by the piano trio that even non-fans can’t miss is here.
