Clarla Bley – Heavy Heart

carla-bley-heavy-heart

Un disco quasi fusion, ci sono pezzi particolarmente belli e mi sento di consigliare “Joyful Noise” e soprattutto “Starting Again” con un’intro fantastica.
Il disco è stato pubblicato nel 1984 con l’etichetta ECM.

Musicisti:

Manolo Badrena – percussion
Carla Bley – organ, synthesizer
Earl McIntyre – tuba
Gary Valente – trombone
Michael Mantler – trumpet

Also: Hiram Bullock, Victor Lewis, Steve Swallow, Kenny Kirkland, Steve Slagle
