PAUL BLEY recorded the compositions of CARLA BLEY with a
quintet that included EDDIE GOMEZ, on the evening of October
20, 1964, at Mirasound Studios, with Alfy Wade as engineer.
His group included MIFLORD GRAVES, MARSHALL ALLEN of the SUN
RA Arkestra, and DEWEY JOHNSON. Today, Marshall leads the Sun
Ra Arkestra.
"Featuring Gary Peacock, recorded in 1964 with Dewey Johnson
(trumpet), Marshall Allen (alto sax), Eddie Gomez (bass), and
Milford Graves (drums). Wildly disparate philosophies pooling
enough common ground to make things work. Johnson especially
makes the session buzz." All compositions by Carla Bley, who
is also credited with tape assemblage. "On other ESP-albums
from around 1964 you'll find charmingly outdated examples of
wild electronic manipulation, using spliced and reversed
sounds from all kinds of sources to give the already far-out
music some extra weirdness (check out the beautiful Bob James
Trio Explosions for some disturbing tape experiments). Carla
Bley's tape assemblage only features splicing of musical
themes, and tape-layering of existing tracks....All of this
resulting in the original quintet sounding twice as big, and
an emphasizing of the compositional structure in favour of
free improvisation." -- Remco Takken.
