Musique mécanique
by The Carla Bley Band
Operating firmly outside traditional big band parameters, the brilliant composer and pianist utilized an unorthodox ten-piece ensemble for this deeply eccentric recording. The complex, suite-like compositions are infused with dark cabaret theatricality, dissonant horn arrangements, and a wry, distinctly avant-garde sense of humor. It is celebrated as a wildly imaginative, playfully subversive landmark in modern large-ensemble jazz.
