Carla Bley Band-Italy (September 3, 1977)



The Carla Bley Band
Festival "Jazz ad Alassio"
Alassio, Italy
September 3rd, 1977

Audience recording

A concert that stuck in my mind, and now that I've digitized the tape, I hope you can enjoy it.
In my opinion this edition ("The European Tour 1977") remains among the best bands Carla has ever led.

    I am SOOOOO in love with Carla Bley.

    Such cerebral music but never ever pretentious. Not selfish either which is kind of a drag because she has such great chops.

    Gotta love that red sweater.

    Thanks for posting this show.
