Paul Bley - Amsterdam 2009

Here's a recent solo set by Paul Bley (check out the preceeding post for more).
This was up on dime a few months ago, perfectly presented, but @ 48 kHz. Nero seems to fix this automatically, but the software I use won't, so I changed the FLAC files to 44.1 kHz, in order to be able to burn them... hope you'll enjoy this one as well!

    Thanks Ubu!, track 6 = Pent-up house (S. Rollins) (and for my ears tr 4 = All the things you are)

    Ubu,
    thanks for another great post. Can't wait to listen to it, and the other Bley.
    I see you posted Jah Wobble. I'll give that a listen too. Really enjoyed his collaboration(s) with EP, but mostly because of Evan.
    Cheers, Wally

    NickS.
    Where to start?
    Some of my favourites are:
    Ramblin (earlyish solo)
    Dual unity & Scorpio (earlyish experimental with synthesiser with)
    Time will tell (spacious masterpiece with Evan Parker & Barre Phillips)
    Copenhagen & Haarlem (solo)
    Fragments & PB Quartet (group setting with Paul taking a bit of a back seat but excellent nevertheless)
    Mondsee variations (recent solo)
    Cheers Wally
