I only recently discovered Carla Bley and her music thanks to a story about her in a music magazine. Sadly she passed away in 2023 and left a lot of recorded music to remember her by. I’ll write more about her at another time but check out her music. Wonderful composer and musician. #jazz #orchestra #music
