I think that's right and they both together as ex-husbands released an album called Annette which was made up of her songs.

Assuming it was all very evolved and sophisticated
Carla Bley has some shit to say about Paul in this interview. (The way she always says his full name - "Paul Bley" - makes me wish I could hear the audio of this conversation.)

That Carla Bley interview is fantastic, thanks for that. What a cool person. I disagree with her on many points, but her authority and candor (and irreverence!) has me reevaluating a few of my long-held assumptions. Her takes on Powell and Ellington are outrageous, though.

even though she's dumping on two of my biggest heroes there, I absolutely love her style!

would fp anyone on here saying Bud Powell plays too many notes tho!

Right? That interview was a treasure. I love her perspective and glad she was so candid.

I always felt Sonny Rollins could be an exemplar of "never meet your musical heroes, cos they are all complete arrogant dicks" - especially in his younger days.

Really? See, I always figured Sonny would be cool.
I was also surprised / disappointed to read about how Cherry treated Carla.
Surely we can all agree that Ornette was probably the best hang of all: no fear of him nodding out, seemingly unflappable, total PMA vibes...

the Not Two, Not One trio with Motian + Peacock has some sublime moments of inspired minimalist low register piano grinding experimentation that makes me want more!

blood, closer, sankt gerold, the 80's quartet one with Surman-Frissell-Motian, mondsee solo, are albums I've been fucking with a lot recently - so good.

The upcoming live album - recorded in 1999 with the aforementioned Not Two, Not One trio of Gary Peacock and Paul Motian - is a good one.
