About

Following in the footsteps of the CD of 'Andando el Tiempo' - which was released to celebrate Carla Bley's 80th birthday in May 2016 - comes a 180g audiophile vinyl version of the album, with a free download too. It features music of wide emotional compass by the pianist, and underlines her originality and resourcefulness as a jazz composer. "Saints Alive!" sets up animated conversations between the participants with striking statements from Steve Swallow's bass guitar and Andy Sheppard's soprano sax. The stately "Naked Bridges/Diving Brides" draws inspiration from Mendelssohn and the poetry of Paul Haines. And the powerful three-part title composition, which addresses the trials and tribulations of recovery from addiction, moves through sorrow to hopefulness and joy. This trio has been an ideal vehicle for Carla's writing for over two decades and also provides one of the best contexts for her unique piano playing.
