I love Carla Bley, her career and her compositions in general.
It's true I could have posted these ones earlier, but I guess it just wasn't the right time then.
But having received one undeniable request from a dear friend of mine, I've decided to make this post with some of my favourite records by this extraordinary artist, from which I would like to highlight such ones as "Social Studies", "Duets" or "Sextet".
Hope you like it!

Hello there!
Been a while since my last post. Works, examens, etc, etc, etc...
Well, just decided to share these awesome live recordings by one of the greatest jazz icons: John Coltrane.
They were made between the 1st & the 5th of November 1961.
Coltrane was accompanied by Eric Dolphy, Reggie Workman, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones, Ahmed Abdul-Malik, Roy Haynes and Garvin Bushell.
Hope you like it!
