Carla Bley & Steve Swallow - Romantic Notions #3 / Walking Batterie Woman [Night Music 1990]

[Hi-Fi Mono] From the eclectic music program helmed by the late Hal Willner, and hosted by David Sanborn. Ms. Bley and Mr. Swallow perform as a duet on this occasion. I consider myself very fortunate to have seen them perform together, once, many years ago :)

This was a great show for cool music. Possibly the only show where something as interesting and non commercial like this would be aired. Carla was the best!

[@jazzfan7491]

Hard to believe this was on network television

[@blackfly56]

I’ve listened to Jazz for most of my life, and you learn standards and hear similarities but then you hear things like this that are SO unique and mind bending. What a pair these two are whether they’re together or separate.

GENIUS.. REST IN PEACE CARLA BLEY

[@walterhayley7252]

Gotta love these two. RIP Carla, and thanks for so much great music...

Could never decide which was more beautiful...Carla or her music . So unfathomably sad that some beauty passes , then inconceivably fortunate some beauty is eternal .

[@reujack]

What a treasure this show was. And is...

R.I.P. Carla

She will be hugely missed

Carla Bley s'en est allée au vent mauvais de l'automne... Heureusement son jeu subtil restera toujours...❤

Though lacking some of his rhythmic elasticity, Bley's solo piano intro is pure Monk.

RIP dear Carla so great!!

[@iangaredunord6199]

Romantic Notions No.3 is the solo piano intro (piano pieces written for classical pianist Ursula Oppens), then they segue to Walking Batterie Woman

[@whatsforafters7843]

Thanks for that!

[@Schell77]

Thanks for posting this. I believe this dates from Fall 1989.

[@whatsforafters7843]

Hal Willlner put together a Monk tribute album called 'That's the way i feel now', and Carla and her big band (including Johnny Griffin, Hiram Bullock, Steve Swallow, Kenny Kirkland) are featured on a rollicking version of Misterioso - ua-cam.com/video/Y26ew9x15Gs/v-deo.html. I think this album, found in a cut-out bin in the 80's, was my introduction to Carla and her various band formations. Thanks Hal and Carla for all the great music over the years
