    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.

    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.

    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...

    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)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO8SET56s0Y


    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

    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.
