    Thanks Riccardo, nice performance, and a great blog indeed, one of the very best, for its choice to concentrate on more experimental jazz, and on almost exclusively live recordings

    the unknown piece is one of his greatest: it appears as "PLEASE, DON'T EVER LEAVE ME" on AXIS ('77), as "PLEASE" on TANGO PALACE ('83), or as "NOOSPHERE" (embelished by GARY PEACOCK & PAUL MOTIAN) on NOT TWO, NOT ONE('98). he use to play this theme on almost every solo recital.

    thanks a lot!

    Thanks for sharing this.

    I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but "Please Don't Ever Leave Me" is also known as "El Cordobes"; it's an Annette Peacock piece that Bley has recorded a few times (besides the ones Black Sun mentions, on Annette, Plays Annette Peacock, and there's an interesting electric version on Scorpio which I think is available on a disc called Circles).

    actually 'el cordobes' is another song, matt: they are performed in a medley on 'axis', hence the confusion... speaking of medleys, there are plenty of them here (even on 'please' he uses a variation on the intro of 'tango palace'), maybe someone will identify all the standard tunes linked together by the bosendorfer master...
