One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz, pianist and composer Carla Bley demonstrates her witty, eclectic, and inventive style in this performance video, recorded during a 1983 concert in Montreal. Bley and her ensemble (which for this date included Joe Lovano on sax, Michael Mantler on trumpet, and Steve Swallow on bass) perform eight numbers, including "The Lord Is Listening To You", "The Lone Arranger", "Heavy Heart", "Walking Battery Woman", and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
