Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Even if you decide you hate this recording and everything it stands for, this is an essential classic if you have any interest at all in large-scale jazz-derived composition. Long sought-after as a rare LP, this work dates from 1971 when anything seemed possible, to the extent that a massive avant-garde quasi-opera by composer/pianist Carla Bley and writer Paul Haines, boasting a "plot" which is enigmatic to the point of incomprehensibility and which draws on musical sources which range from the classic blaring of the American big bands to the European Serialist school of post-classical composition almost seemed par for the course. Throughout her career Bley has always seemed more interested in manipulating the structural devices of jazz than in allowing full rein to its tradition of improvisation. While this can occasionally make her smaller-scale work sound somewhat constipated, here it succeeds in holding together this vast, sprawling, nothing-like-it-before-or-since musical and literary edifice which is as essential, in its own way, as the suites of Ellington. --Roger Thomas

4.0 out of 5 stars 何とも凄いジャズオペラ, 2004/7/19
By 目賀葵 (東京都豊島区) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
単にJCOAという枠に留まらず、様々なアーティストを巻き込み、ポール・ヘインズという詩人とカーラ・ブレイが3年もの時間をかけて創りだした一大パノラマ的な作品('71年作)。クレジットをご覧になれば判りますが、ジャック・ブルース、リンダ・ロンシュタット、パーシー・ジョーンズなどロックのコンテキストからも、ドン・チェリー、ガトー・バルビエリ、ジョン・マクラフリン、チャーリー・ヘイデン、ポール・モチアン等など、ジャズやフリーのコンテキストまで、まぁこの時代、この人だからできたような面子が参加しています。
[1]での嵐のような演奏(8分過ぎからの激烈ブロー)には思わず背筋がゾクリとします。その後に続く[2]での妖しい響き…まさにジャズオペラというコンセプトが見事に具現化されています。
プログレッシヴ・ロックもフリー・ジャズも何もかも飲み込まれているような混沌と、そこから時々姿を見せる研ぎ澄まされたフレーズ。C.ブレイの才能を見せつけられる思いです。
作品自体は万人にお勧めという類の代物ではありませんが、多分、常に"興味深い音楽"を求めている方はハマるかも知れません(^^;
