The creative musical mind of Carla Bley has been of interest to me and on "Night- glo" she teams up with ECM fellow mate Steve Swallow and trumpet wizard Randy Brecker. Bley's organ and synths are ever present but never at center stage and instead are used to help shape the overall sound.
"Night-glo" is a short but fantastic album with softly challenging ECM-like jazz fusion songs that stretch out to new creative ends. There is some fantastic oboe, horns and trombone work too on this album. The song "Wildlife" is a scrumptious number with again a very relaxed fusion feel yet huge wall of sound.
