Carla Bley

Carla Bley tribute/cover album. I'd never heard of Lluís Vidal. 

Check out Vidal's version of "Ida Lupino" in particular. Interesting spin.

Nothing to do with Bley, but Vidal is the pianist on one of my favorite albums, the sole quartet Album of guitarist Sean Levitt

Thanks. That is indeed interesting. Even though it's a pretty radical deconstruction of the tune. I'm going to listen to the whole album.

I’m also a fan of a fairly recent CB tribute by Ben Allison, Steve Cardenas, and Ted Nash. https://stevecardenas.bandcamp.com/album/healing-power-the-music-of-carla-bley
 

Ben discusses it a bit here:

Thanks. Reminds me in some ways of the tune (from her last recording?) you included in a recent BFT. I should get more familiar with the (both?) album(s).

4 albums by that trio, this one-off chamber album, and some big-band albums. They all show her continued growth,as a composer.

And if, like maybe a lot of people (myself included), you sorta stopped paying attention after a certain point, there are plenty of delightful examples that you were wrong for that. Very wrong.

Love it when that happens!
