Carla Bley
Oakland born Carla Bley finishes up at Yoshi's tonight and performs a commissioned piece for the Monterey Jazz Festival on Saturday night.Post-bop jazz has produced only a few first-rate composers of larger forms; Carla Bley ranks high amongst them. Bley possesses an unusually wide compositional range; she combines an acquaintance with and love for jazz in all its forms with great talent and originality. Her music is a peculiarly individual type of hyper-modern jazz. Bley is capable of writing music of great drama and profound humor, often within the confines of the same piece.

Hi Stu,
I rehearsed with Carla Bley and Steve Swallow today for the MJF performance Sat night. Man, the music is incredible and the band is filled with the best players in the Bay Area and Monterey. This is one show I would highly recomend to everyone to catch. Hope to see you there.
