Appearing Nightly

0 - Default Title
Description
"Carla Bley and her Remarkable Big Band", as the cover has it, in a resolutely contemporary performance of nostalgia-inflected material, recorded live! Rich and robust performances of new Bley material (plus an arrangement of a Ray Noble chestnut) with particularly stellar contributions by saxophone soloists Andy Sheppard and Wolfgang Puschnig, by trumpeter Lew Soloff, and trombonist Gary Valente. Centrepiece of the album is the 25 minute title track "Appearing Nightly At The Black Orchid" - commissioned for the Monterey Jazz Festival and heard here in a premiere recording. This major work reflects on Carla's first musical engagement as a pianist back in the 1950s, and alludes to the spirit and atmosphere of the jazz clubs of the day. The spirit of Gershwin informs Carla's "Someone To Watch". And "I Hadn't Anyone Till You" is a rare instance of Carla arranging another musician's work.
