(Contemporary Jazz, Post-Bop, Avant-Garde Jazz) Carla Bley - Дискография - 1966-2013 (31 альбом) (w/ Steve Swallow, Andy Sheppard, Michael Mantler, Steve Lacy, Paul Haines), MP3, 320 kbps

Карла Блей родилась 11 мая 1936 года в Окленде, штат Калифорния. В детстве Карлу обучал музыке её отец. В юности Карла увлекалась джазом и поэтому переехала в Нью-Йорк, где она познакомилась с джазовым пианистом Полом Блеем. Вскоре она перебралась в Лос-Анджелес, где Пол работал в клубе Hillcrest. В Лос-Анджелесе Карла начала писать музыку. В начале 1960-х Карла Блей вернулась в Нью-Йорк и работала в гардеробе Basin Street и Jazz Gallery, чтобы посещать как можно больше концертов. Карла состояла в Гильдии джазовых композиторов, благодаря чему познакомилась с Майклом Мантлером. Вместе они основали группу The Jazz Composer's Orchestra. Карла рассталась с Полом Блеем ради Майкла Мантлера. В 1966 году у Карлы родилась её единственная дочь Карен.
В 1972 году Карла получила стипендию Фонда Гуггенхайма и вместе с Мантлером основала собственную звукозаписывающую компанию WATT. Их первым релизом стал совместный проект Карлы Блей и поэта Пола Хэйнеса Tropic Appetites.
В 1976 году Карла Блей собрала группу Carla Bley Band, которая в течение шести лет гастролировала по Европе и Японии. Лэйбл WATT выпустил пять альбомов группы. Carla Bley Band исполнили аранжировку, написанную Карлой к музыке Нино Роты для фильма Федерико Феллини «Восемь с половиной» (Otto e Menzo, 1963). Позже были выпущены альбомы Heavy Heart и Night-Glo, которые не были восприняты почитателями джаза. И всё же журнал Downbeat назвал Карлу Блей лучшим композитором. Следующим достижением Карлы была премия Deutscher Schallplattenpreis. Кроме того Карла была признана лучшим композитором по мнению журнала Jazz Times, а Hi-Fi Vision назвал её джазовым музыкантом года.
В 1990 году параллельно с преподаванием в Колледже Уильяма и Мэри в Уильямсбурге Карла Блей выпустила альбом Very Big Carla Bley Band, который был удостоен премии Французской академии джаза Jazz Moderne. В 1991 году Карла разошлась с Майклом Мантлером и вскоре стала жить со Стивом Сваллоу, с которым она работала в дуэте. В 1992 году они записали альбом Go Together.
Группа Карлы Carla Bley Band с 1993 года продолжила гастроли, и их новый альбом Big Band Theory был номинирован на премию Грэмми.
С 1993 по 2000 год Карла Блей одновременно с другими проектами выступала в трио вместе со Стивом Сваллоу и Энди Шеппардом. В 1997 году Карла и Стив уехали в Хельсинки (Финляндия) для работы с местным джазовым коллективом. В 1998 году Карла основала новую группу 4x4. В 2000 году 4Х4 выступали в Европе. В течение последующих нескольких лет Карла Блей и Стив Сваллоу сотрудничали со множеством джазовых коллективов из США, Люксембурга, Италии и Португалии.
Осенью 2002 года Карла выпустила альбом Looking For America, который был номинирован на премию Грэмми. Позже в состав Trios вошёл барабанщик Билли Драммонд, и группа преобразовалась в The Lost Chords. В 2003 и 2004 годах новый коллектив гастролировал в Европе, а 2005 году квартет работал в Америке. В 2006 году по приглашению Майкла Кауфманна, руководителя программ Филармонии Эссена (Германия), Карла Блей стала резидентом филармонии на один год. В течение этого времени состоялись трёхнедельный европейский тур группы The Carla Bley Big Band, запись нового альбома и работа со Стивом Сваллоу в Сардинии и Гамбурге.
