3.0 out of 5 stars
Literate and enjoyable,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Appearing Nightly (Ocrd) (Audio CD)
This is my first exposure to Carla's Band, and I will certainly be seeking out more of it.
The most unusual thing about this album, at least when compared to other 2008 releases, is that the musical language that composes it feels dated. I wouldn't have been surprised to hear a release like this from one of Toshiko Akiyoshi's bands in the 70s or 80s, and it wouldn't have come across as jarring to listeners back then. There is seemingly very little influence from the post-modern big band sounds of Jason Lindner, Dave Holland, or Maria Schneider. This could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the listener. The 25 minute long suite that serves as the centerpiece to this album is lovely, varied, and really shows off the stylistic flexibility of the group and the soloists. Most of the rest of the album pales in comparison, but the frequent quotes managed to help "Awful Coffee" maintain its contact with the listener.

Boring!,
This review is from: Appearing Nightly (Ocrd) (Audio CD)
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!!!
