| old and retired ppl of igr, diss, impg and rotation! |

| |
| Part of a review from the Guardian |
| |
| Piano colossus Bley had never recorded unaccompanied before 1972's |
| Open, to Love - ECM's Manfred Eicher proposed it, two years before |
| Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert put both the improvised piano-solo |
| genre and the label on the map. In his 75th year, Bley and ECM |
| release the follow-up - another example of the improv imagination |
| and self-sufficient virtuosity that has influenced many pianists, |
| Jarrett included. |
| |
| Jarrett fans will feel at home with the rocking chordal vamps |
| supporting a right-hand slideshow of clipped, jazzy figures, and |
| repeating motifs exposed to bold modulations. But though standards |
| are fleetingly hinted at, Bley's variations are less song-rooted |
| than Jarrett's, and he's more absorbed by the sonics of the piano. |
| It's a dense, mostly slow-moving, session, but layered, coloured and |
| sculpted by decades of concentrated invention that distils down to |
| pure Bley. |
| |
| |
| |
| Short information about Paul Bley |
| |
| Paul Bley has long offered avant-garde pianists an alternative |
| approach to improvising than that of Cecil Taylor. Bley has been |
| able to use melody and space in inventive ways while performing |
| fairly free improvisations. He started on piano at age eight, |
| studied at Juilliard during 1950-1952, and in 1953 played with |
| Charlie Parker on a Canadian television show; the soundtrack serves |
| as his recording debut. After recording for Charles Mingus' Debut |
| label in 1953, he moved to New York. Following a stint with Jackie |
| McLean's quintet, he relocated to Los Angeles. |
| |
| Bley played with Chet Baker and then in 1958 played at the Hillcrest |
| with musicians who would soon form the Ornette Coleman Quartet: |
| Coleman, Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Billy Higgins. He soon |
| returned to New York, played and recorded with Charles Mingus and |
| Don Ellis, was part of the Jimmy Giuffre Three (which also included |
| Steve Swallow), and was married to the talented up-and-coming |
| pianist/composer Carla Bley. After leading his own trio, Paul Bley |
| spent much of 1963 with Sonny Rollins' group. |
| |
| He participated in the famous October Revolution in Jazz in 1964 and |
| was a founding member of the Jazz Composers Guild. He recorded |
| frequently with his trios, for a few years experimented with |
| electronics with his second wife Annette Peacock, and then in 1974 |
| founded his Improvising Artists label. |
| |
| Virtually all of that short-lived label's output has been reissued |
| on CD by Black Saint/Soul Note. Since the mid-'70s, Paul Bley has |
| recorded a countless number of albums for literally dozens of labels |
| (once cutting two albums in the same day, in two different |
| countries). A key link between Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, Bley's |
| adventurous yet thoughtful playing sounds like no one else. |
