One of the most notable composers/performers on the contemporary jazz scene, Carla Bley begins this July 1983 concert with the hymn like "The Lord Is Listening to You." An appropriate beginning, since Bley's musical life began under the tutelage of her church-organist father. From there, via another half-dozen original compositions, she provides a demonstration of her knack for mixing old and new, Europe and America, abstract and highly melodic jazz, into a package that couldn't be anyone else's.

featuring Joe Lovano - sax; Mike Mantler - trumpet; Steve Swallow - electric bass; others.

Carla Bley

In July 1992, the Orchestra - a powerhouse of some of the top names in jazz - brought the collaborative sound of their album "Dream Keeper" to the Montreal International Jazz Festival. The African National Congress anthem, "Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika," opens the program and sets the tone, followed by a suite-like series of traditional melodies from Latin America for a unique, powerful performance. 

Featuring: Ryan Kisor - trumpet; Joe Lovano - sax; Jovan Jackson - sax; Robin Eubanks - trombone; Bill Stewart - drums; Charlie Haden - bass; others.

Selections: Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika, Dream Keeper , Feliciano Ama, Canto Del Pilon, Hymn of the Anarchist Women's Movement, Spiritual
