IMO, that is a superior record, and against any number of odds.

[JSngry]

The band is too often too big for the orchestrations, the takes are too long. and the ensemble lacks a distinct color/personality. It reminds me of a "lab band" except with real people doing the playing, not lab rats.

None of which is what I take delight in about damn near every other Carla Bley record.

Go figure.

I will say that Lew Soloff & Gary Valente are doin' the do (just doin' it to).

I remember seeing that band here in Manchester in the1990s. Gary Valente was the standout feature, as I recall.
