Bley, Carla - Selected Recordings

---

---

This collection contains samples from almost all of my life's musical efforts, starting with recent albums and going back, with a few selections from ECM releases of my work by other artists, to the early sixties." This is the :rarum disc that reaches the furthest into history as Carla's "Ictus" is played by Jimmy Giuffre's 1961 trio: this was music that laid the groundwork for the "chamber jazz" ECM would later explore more extensively. There is music with the Jazz Composer's Orchestra and with the Liberation Music Orchestra, and with Carla's large and small ensembles as documented on WATT, and no shortage of star soloists.
