艺人介绍

1932年Paul Bley生于加拿大蒙特娄,在美国居住过很长一段时间, 1995 年4 月号的Down Beat 杂志说: 50 年代Bley 首次与Charles Mingus, Art Blakey 合作演出,除了Miles Davis 外,与最多一流且原创性最高的爵士乐手一起工作过的人当属Paul Bley。

Paul Bley has long offered avant-garde pianists an alternative approach to improvising than that of Cecil Taylor. Bley has been able to use melody and space in inventive ways while performing fairly free improvisations. He started on piano at age eight, studied at Juilliard during 1950-1952, and in 1953 played with Charlie Parker on a Canadian television show; the soundtrack serves as his recording debut. After recording for Charles Mingus Debut label in 1953, he moved to New York. Following a stint with Jackie McLeans quintet, he relocated to Los Angeles. Bley played with Chet Baker and then in 1958 played at the Hillcrest with musicians who would soon form the Ornette Coleman Quartet: Coleman, Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Billy Higgins. He soon returned to New York, played and recorded with Charles Mingus and Don Ellis, was part of the Jimmy Giuffre 3 (which also included Steve Swallow), and was married to the talented up-and-coming pianist/composer Carla Bley. After leading his own trio, Bley spent much of 1963 with Sonny Rollins group. He participated in the famous October Revolution in Jazz in 1964 and was a founding member of the Jazz Composers Guild. He recorded frequently with his trios, for a few years experimented with electronics with his second wife, Annette Peacock, and then in 1974 founded his Improvising Artists label. Virtually all of that short-lived labels output has been reissued on CD by Black Saint/Soul Note. Since the mid-70s, Bley has recorded a countless number of albums for literally dozens of labels (once cutting two albums in the same day, in two different countries). Bley continued his prolific recording practices post-2000, releasing a bevy of albums including Sankt Gerold in 2001, Nothing to Declare in 2004, and Solo in Mondsee in 2007, among others. A key link between Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, Bleys adventurous yet thoughtful playing sounds like no one else.
