Much thanks for the post, Nick. I love piano trios but I've not developed an ear for Bley, so thanks for the chance to give him a go with this one.
sad sad news!
BIG THX !...
Thanks, early Bley is desert island disc stuff for me. Several of his early albums have the same tunes but the versions are all fascinating. Bizzarrely, while checking in the newspaper about the sad news of his death, I saw Pierre Boulez also died, today...... PB / PB, two giants of 20 century music.
What? ! Boulez,too? 2too much, just a double blow to music.

Thanks anonymous, glad to have this.
Hi, Anonymous. Is this a different concert from "Japan Suite?"
In any case, what a loss Bley's passing is. One of the
greatest and most underappreciated innovators
of improvised music. And a brilliant commentator
on the music's development.
so depressed at the news Paul is gone - he had a great run but much of his work remains buried especially his electronic stuff - if anyone has the Paul Bley Synthesizer show please post - never on CD - also any other rarer stuff - would be amazing if we could all send him off by listening to more of his work...
Paul Bley - Japan Suite was recorded on 07-25-1976.
R.I.P. dear Paul.
Many thanks Nick and many thanks Anonymous for the Tokyo concert.
Here is Paul Bley solo and trio live in Udine, Italy 06-29-2001 in FLAC, my audience recording:

A very welcome upgrade of this classic Bley. All of his 60s and 70s albums have a special place
for me and I always return with great pleasure to his music. Thank you Sir, requiescat in pace.

Sad indeed, he was a true original.
He left us with a lot of great music.
A few years ago I posted a video of a solo piano performance of his in France from 1973. Alrac (Carla)

sotise, from the Malmo, Sweden 97 show you gave a link for
track 1 is Monk's Dream
track 5 is just a bass solo
track 6 is Latin Genetics
Thank you, Nick
Thanks to everyone for these Bley recordings.
I can never get enough of his music. The
contributions are all wonderful but I'm
now really digging the Malmo show.
I hear the tunes on the Malmo date as:
Track 1: Monk's Dream
Track 2: I Can't Get Started
(recorded by Bley as "Started")
Track 3: Confirmation (piano solo)
Track 4: Sweet and Lovely
(recorded by Bley as "Only Lovely")
Track 5: Bass Solo leading into-is it "Latin Genetics"?
May be Bley's reharmonization of the tune but
doesn't quite sound like it to me
Track 6: My Old Flame
Thanks to all, again. Always hoping for
more, especially from his 60's-70's really
"out" period.
A big thanks, amigos, to everyone for all these gems !
Thanks, Nick!
Very nice! Thank you. And being late has some perks.
