Carla Bley Biography
Something of a first lady of the avant-garde, pianist/composer/arranger Carla Bley began writing jazz charts for top-name players in the late 1950s. In the mid '60s she helped found the Jazz Composers' Orchestra, which marked her first forays into a more complex free-jazz realm. Her long-form piece ESCALATOR OVER THE HILL, written in 1968, stands as a distinct stylistic signpost of the era. Bley would go on to work with a host of free-jazz icons--including Pharaoh Sanders, Steve Lacy, and Peter Brotzmann, among others--and continued to compose challenging genre-bending works into the 21st century.
