BLEY TRIO, PAUL - Bremen 66

Paul Bley Trio, live from Lila Eule, Bremen, Germany on September 27th, 1966. The young Paul Bley earned his spurs playing with legends including Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, Chet Baker, Jimmy Giuffre, Ornette Coleman, and Bill Evans. As the 1960s progressed, he increasingly embraced the avant-garde, with arguably his greatest successes coming in the piano trio format. Originally broadcast on Nordewestradio in the autumn of 1966, and featuring material by Bley and his wife Carla, this fiery set typifies his approach at the time. Includes the entire Nordewestradio FM Broadcast, digitally remastered and accompanied by background notes and images. Personnel: Paul Bley - piano; Mark Levinson - bass; Barry Altschul - drums. - Hi Hat.
