The A-Trane 2026-06-12 - Carla Bley, Previews, NRs

Having some fun on this afternoon's edition of the The A-Trane Radio Program, there's a fabulous new release of the Carla Bley Band in Hamburg in 1984 and that lends itself to a nice feature set that will lead into other musicians doing the music of Carla Bley - Arturo O'Farrill, Gary Burton, Steve Cardenas Ben Allison Music & TheodoreRussell Nash, Norma Winstone & Kit Downes, a new one from the Orchestre National de Jazz in France and Fredrik Ljungkvist & Lina Nyberg! The last two coming to this year's Vancouver International Jazz Festival (and Jennifer Scott, Rene Worst & Bernie Arai playing Carla Bley at the Zameen Art House on June 21st) lead us into other previews.The reunion of Talking Pictures (Ron Samworth, Bill Clark, Peggy Lee & Dylan van der Schyff), ES:MO Elizabeth Shepherd & Michael Occhipinti, Daniel Hersog Jazz Orchestra, Gergana Velinova, finishing with Chelsea McBride's Socialist Night School!Sad passages for James Blood Ulmer and the late Tony Wilson whose music I'll do a more extensive feature for on a future A-Trane.Birthdays today for Geri Allen (with a newly released duo concert with Kurt Rosenwinkel) and Chick Corea who takes in the theme in a duo with Stefano Bollani and takes out the show with Armando's Rhumba from the new release of his very last concert in Florida in 2020.Idiosyncratic?
