Escalator Over the Hill

A monumental, genre-defying triple album, 'Escalator Over the Hill' is a 'chronotransduction' or jazz opera. It's a sprawling, surreal, and brilliant work that blends free jazz, rock, Indian classical music, and musical theater into a singular artistic vision. Featuring a who's-who of the 1960s avant-garde and rock scenes, the album is a landmark of large-scale composition and a testament to Carla Bley's unique genius.
