Album Notes & Community Reviews
Pianist Paul Bley leads a trio featuring Steve Swallow and Pete La Roca, moving away from hard bop structures toward free jazz. The improvisations focus on sparse phrasing, the disintegration of traditional chord changes, and Carla Bley's unconventional compositions.
