Album Description
"Carla Bley and her Remarkable Big Band", as the cover has it, in a resolutely contemporary performance of nostalgia-inflected material, recorded live! Rich and robust performances of new Bley material (plus an arrangement of a Ray Noble chestnut) with particularly stellar contributions by saxophone soloists Andy Sheppard and Wolfgang Puschnig, by trumpeter Lew Soloff, and trombonist Gary Valente. Centrepiece of the album is the 25 minute title track "Appearing Nightly At The Black Orchid" - commissioned for the Monterey Jazz Festival and heard here in a premiere recording. This major work reflects on Carla's first musical engagement as a pianist back in the 1950s, and alludes to the spirit and atmosphere of the jazz clubs of the day. The spirit of Gershwin informs Carla's "Someone To Watch". And "I Hadn't Anyone Till You" is a rare instance of Carla arranging another musician's work.

Boring! November 18, 2008
I LOVE Carla Bley and her big band, but this recording are kind a dull! Boring songs, and the soloists are not to creative here. Sad to hear that Soloff can play that boring! If you havent heard Carla Bley Big Band before, check out Looking For America instead...great album!!!
