I want to learn more about her. The biography on her website and the wikipedia page says she started working as a waitress in a jazz club in her late teens and became interested in music. Apparently she is self taught? How is that even possible? I thought you had to take lessons from age 3 and study at a conservatory to be able to compose and arrange like this.
The very big Carla Bley Band -- Personnel: * Carla Bley - piano * Lew Soloff, Guy Barker, Claude Deppa, Steven Bernstein - trumpet * Gary Valente, Richard Edwards, Fayyaz Virji - trombone * Ashley Slater - bass trombone * Roger Janotta - oboe, flute, clarinet, soprano saxophone * Wolfgang Puschnig - alto saxophone, flute * Andy Sheppard - tenor saxophone, clarinet * Pete Hurt tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone * Pablo Calogero - baritone saxophone
The late, great, blues man Alexis Korner once refer to Mr Valente as, Gary "Iron lips" Valente, I reckon he hits the nail right on the head as this video goes to show.
essential trivia (trivium?) Carla and daughter Karen do each others hair. Both always look great .Both ARE great,in my opinion.but isn't the thing here,this is such a great band ,so tight and tough and heated all at the same time . and ,of course -deeply soulful.

Is Carla Bley the one that fronts the band or the one on that hammond thingy? Or is this special fx ;-) ?
Both look totally alike...
GOOD LORD!!
Where are my socks????
@gruenerbereich Karen Mantler - daughter and also a composer
de que parte es Gary Valent que no había escuchado de él y me parece un estilo chevere bien popular.....
Terrific stuff.
But I'm puzzled. If Carla is conducting, who is that at the keyboards at 1:25? A clone? Twin? Video trickery?
Ah - is one of the two Carla's daughter, Karen Mantler? But who is whom?
Ron Jeremy on trombone!!
As I have heard should that be her daughter wairing a wig
