Paul Bley Biography
Montreal-born Paul Bley has had a remarkable career as a composer, pianist, and general instigator amongst his rarefied group of friends and collaborators. He is a distinctive player whose solos explode out of the harmonic frame like musical cubism, and his compositions balance bebop feel with avant-garde intellectualism. He has played with just about every important bop and free-jazz musician, from the 1950s through the current day, and has, through his imaginative and prolific recorded output, helped launch the careers of lesser-known writers and players. He has been married to two brilliant composers--Carla Bley and Annette Peacock--whose work he has lovingly covered in depth.
