Carla Bley Band - Live In Berlin 1979


Here is a very well recorded live of the Carla Bley Band in a period that is in my opinion one of the most interesting. There are some great studio recordings of the C.B.B like « European Tour » or « Musique Mecanique ». But the official live in her discography comes later and the music seems more static than on the preview years. Here we have the eccentric approach à la Mingus, some influences of what we can call « popular music » and a fantastic band. High musical quality and fun, here is what we have. Gary Windo who have been under recorded is particularly great here.

  7. I was in the audience and Carla placed some people in the crowd who cried BOO at one point with the surprise of the rest because the concert was fantastic and the band answered with the track Boo To You Too!

    PS: I think the concert was on Nov 4th (not 14th) 1979
