    Track 4 (last Paul Bley solo) is Annette Peacock's "Mr. Joy," I'm pretty sure.

    Matt W is right #4 is definitely Mr. Joy.
    This was one of the songs I performed with a bass player at a noon time concert at my College's amphitheater 38 years ago.

    Thank you Riccardo for this and all the other Paul Bley concerts you've posted here.
    Paul Bley and Jimmy Giuffre shows are always appreciated

    Thanks very much for the show. One small correction on the writing credits however, "Music Matador" was actually written by Prince Lasha and Sonny Simmons.

    even though it sounds like a possible variation on carla bley's "ida lupino" theme, the last track is actually a paul bley original, entitled "please, don't you ever leave me", aka "please", later transformed into "noosphere" with the help of gary peacock.

    Track 8 is based on Konitz's "Subconscious-Lee" -- he plays most of the melody with one minute to go, but doesn't play the full bridge and then closes with "What is This Thing Called Love."
    Track 9 is also based on the changes of "What is This Thing Called Love."
    Track 11 is "Sweet and Lovely."
