This is an album released in 1975 by Paul Bley, one of Canada's leading jazz pianists who has been active since the 1950s. He has contributed to groups like the Ornette Coleman Quartet and the Jazz Composer's Orchestra and has also created numerous masterpieces with his own groups. Paul Bley was a central figure in the New York loft jazz scene. This album was released on his label, Improvising Artists Inc. It features a piano solo performance where Bley primarily interprets his own scores, along with compositions by Carla Bley and Annette Peacock. Bley's piano playing is known for its introverted and emotionally complex expression, and these qualities are prominently displayed in this work. As you listen closely to each note on the piano, you'll find yourself drawn into his unique musical world.
