Christmas Extra: Bley, Swallow & Partyka In Concert

[contextly_auto_sidebar id=”uPkcdoYgiMKZmu9XXlsLZ6ZBsnrWUexG”]

Bley ChristmasDoing a bit of holiday morning web surfing, I discovered a live version of one of the pieces from Carla Bley’s delightful 2008 album Carla’s Christmas Carols. Ms. Bley and Steve Swallow performed it in Montenegro in 2010 with Ed Partyka’s Brass Quintet. Partyka has the plunger trombone solo. The other members of the quintet are Adrian Mears, trombone; Tobias Weidinger, trumpet; Axel Schlosser, trumpet; Christine Chapman, French horn.

Merry Christmas
