Album Notes
Carla Bley Band: Carla Bley (piano, toy piano, organ); Roswell Rudd (vocals, trombone); Alan Braufman (alto saxophone, flute, clarinet); Gary Windo (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet); Michael Mantler (trumpet); John Clark (French horn); Bob Stewart (tuba); Terry Adams (piano, electric pump organ); Eugene Chadbourne (acoustic & electric guitars); Charlie Haden (acoustic bass); Steve Swallow (electric bass); D. Sharpe (drums); Karen Mantler (glockenspiel).
Recorded at Grog Kill Studio, Willow, New York from August-November 1978.
This album features much of the same band that performs on the wonderful EUROPEAN TOUR 1977. This is a varied set of Carla Bley's pieces, full of musical wit, warmth and invention. "440" (referring to the number of cycles in the A-note used for tuning) starts things off perfectly, as the musicians fall into place like a band waking up, rolling out of bed and tuning up. The three-part title piece evokes, in glorious musical portraiture, the marvelous inner workings of mechanical music boxes.
As always, Bley chooses her soloists perfectly and standouts this time include trombonist Roswell Rudd, tenor saxophonist Gary Windo, and NRBQ's pianist Terry Adams. Charlie Haden plays bass on one track, with Steve Swallow on board the rest of the time. Recorded at the studio she owned with her then-husband and trumpet player Michael Mantler, this album must be counted among the top five or ten of her many fine albums.
