It's been almost a year since Carla passed away... I can only admire the magnitude of her achievements. Her legendary performances from the late 1970s, when her rare talent and creativity were at their peak, performing with musicians not only in the United States but also in Europe, are now available for the first time in a complete edition on a high-quality stereo soundboard! ! Carla formed a band with Jack Bruce, who played an important role in "Escalator Over the Hill," and actively performed with talented European musicians, expanding the scope of her music. This legendary performance, which is said to be a masterpiece, was held at the Antibes Jazz Festival in Juan-les-Pins, France on July 21, 1978, at the height of her career. This must-listen album has been completely recorded on a high-quality stereo soundboard with careful mastering by the label! ! The album focuses on Carla's works, which were written with a free imagination without being bound by the harmony, composition, and rhythm that had been the norm in jazz up until that point. The whole piece is not bound by existing idioms, and the world of her own melody lines and chord progressions is truly one of a kind. That's why Carla's music is always fresh and never gets old. The ensemble, which is woven with vivid contrasts of light and dark, movement and stillness, is sometimes fun like a carnival or a street performer as Carla's fingertips fly through the air, and sometimes dramatic and beautiful melodies that praise sorrow and evoke nostalgia. Each song is like a story and is worth listening to. And above all, the elegant sound that fills the air with Carla's scent is difficult to describe. Also, the details of her compositions are surprising, as is typical of Carla, and although they are original, they are not overbearing, so you can easily listen to them. This is a must-listen album by the beloved Carla, perfectly capturing the best stage with the most amazing, super high-quality stereo sound board, recommended for you who want to listen to real adult jazz in the coming season!
