Carla Bley Meets Zappa,
By
This review is from: Karen Mantler's Pet Project (Audio CD)
I enjoyed listening to this. It would make a really good Carla Bley album. If it was Carla Bley I'd give it 4 stars. But it's not. It's her daughter. So, I deduct one star for the inability of Karen Mantler to do anything really unique. That having been said, there is a lot of good music on this disc. It is the story of Ms. Mantler's efforts to find a new pet after the death of her beloved cat, Arnold. It is a funny and touching story with Zappa-esque vocals and banter, and a very good band behind her to make it all come together. Nice production, good sound. Definetly worth checking out, especially if you're a Carla Bley fan.

it's difficult to say which of her issues is best or better. in the tradition of her mom, carla bley, and dad, michael mantler, not to mention robert wyatt and jack bruce, she mixes a wide variety of music (rock, jazz, cabaret) in the tradition of escalator over the hill. all in the name of her now deceased cat. quel d'homage!
