Mike Mantler and Carla Bley, being the only two non-leader members of the Guild, had decided to organize an orchestra made up of musicians both inside and outside the Guild. This group, then known as the Jazz Composer's Guild Orchestra and consisting of eleven musicians, began rehearsals in the downtown loft of painter Mike Snow for its premiere performance at the Guild's Judson Hall series of concerts in December 1964. The orchestra, set up in a large circle in the center of the hall, played "Communications no.3" by Mike Mantler and "Roast" by Carla Bley. The concert was so successful musically that the leaders decided to continue to write for the group and to give performances at the Guild's new headquarters, a triangular studio on top of the Village Vanguard, called the Contemporary Center. In early March 1965 at the first of these concerts, which were presented in a workshop style, the group had been enlarged to fifteen musicians and the pieces played were "Radio" by Carla Bley and "Communications no.4" (subtitled "Day") by Mike Mantler.

  • Carla Bley Wurde Im Kalifornischen Oakland Geboren Und Lebt Heute in Den Catskill Mountains Im US-Bundes- Staat New York
    Bley, Carla Carla Bley wurde im kalifornischen Oakland geboren und lebt heute in den Catskill Mountains im US-Bundes- staat New York. Mit verschiedenen Bands, kammermusi- kalischen Ensembles und Orchestern hat sie die ganze Welt bereist, vor allem Europa und Südostasien. Als „composer-in-residence“ war sie unter anderem beim Glasgow Festival und wurde in die Essener Philharmo- nie eingeladen. Biografie Carla Bley wurde am 11. Mai 1936 als Lovella May Borg in Oakland, Kalifornien, als Tochter zweier Musiker gebo- ren. Bei ihrem Vater Emil Borg erhielt sie ersten Klavier- und Orgelunterricht und begleitete bereits im Alter von vier Jahren Hochzeiten und Begräbnisse. Mit acht Jah- ren verweigerte sie jeden weiteren Unterricht (Carla Bley betrachtet sich selbst als Autodidaktin). Im selben Jahr starb ihre Mutter Arline Borg. Fünfzehnjährig brach sie die Schule ab und jobbte in einem Plattenladen. Zusätzli- ches Geld verdiente sie mit Auftritten in örtlichen Piano- Bars. Insbesondere die Musik Erik Saties, die sie zufällig Carla Bley im Radio gehört hatte, beschäftigte ihre Fantasie. Carla Bley 1957 verließ sie Kalifornien und ging nach New York, wo Geburtsname: Carla Lovella Borg sie sich Carla Borg nannte.

  • Karen Mantler by Karen Mantler
    Karen Mantler by Karen Mantler I was conceived by Carla Bley and Michael Mantler at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1965. Born in 1966, I was immediately swept into the musician's life on the road. After having checked me at the coatroom of the Berlin Jazz Festival, to the horror of the press, my parents realized that I was going to have to learn to play an instrument in order to be useful. But since I was still just a baby and they couldn't leave me alone, they had to bring me on stage with them and keep me under the piano. This is probably why I feel most at home on the stage. In 1971, when I was four, my mother let me have a part in Escalator Over The Hill and the next year I sang on another of her records, Tropic Appetites. By 1977 I had learned to play the glockenspiel, and I joined the Carla Bley Band. I toured Europe and the States with her several times and played on her Musique Mecanique album. After playing at Carnegie Hall in 1980, where I tried to steal the show by pretending to be Carla Bley, my mother fired me, telling me "get your own band". I realized that I was going to have to learn a more complicated instrument. After trying drums, bass, and flute, which I always lost interest in, I settled on the clarinet. I joined my elementary school band and quickly rose to the head of the clarinet section. The band director let me take the first improvised solo in the history of the Phoenicia (a small town near Woodstock, NY) elementary school.

  • Improvisation, Representation, and Abstraction in Music and Art
    Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, Vol 3, No 1 (2007) Improvisation, Representation, and Abstraction in Music and Art: Michael Snow and Jesse Stewart in Conversation. Toronto. 12 November 2005. Michael Snow’s status as a leading figure in the world of visual art and experimental film is firmly ensconced. His paintings, sculptures, and photo-based works have been exhibited around the world and are in the permanent collections of such prestigious institutions as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Canada, and Le Musée d’art moderne in Paris. His films (including groundbreaking works such as Wavelength, New York Eye and Ear Control, and <---> [Back and Forth]) have been screened at festivals worldwide. Major retrospectives of his work have been held at the Hara Museum in Tokyo, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Vancouver Art Gallery, Le Musée d’art contemporain in Montréal, and La Cinémathèque française in Paris. Perhaps less well known are Michael Snow’s credentials as an improvising musician.1 He began playing New Orleans-style jazz piano as a teenager during the late 1940s. In the 1950s, he performed with many leading swing musicians including Buck Clayton, Dicky Wells, Cootie Williams, Jimmy Rushing, Vic Dickinson, and Pee Wee Russell. From 1962 to 1972, he lived in New York where he became deeply involved with what was then known as the “New Thing” in jazz that included Archie Shepp, Roswell Rudd, Steve Lacy, Paul Bley, Albert Ayler, et al. Although Snow played relatively little music during this time, his Soho loft served as a hub of activity for the burgeoning scene.

If the right side of your brain had a foot, it'd be patting happily throughout these 10 tunes.” – Jazz Times “The best of the unsigned, genre-busting downtown groups” – The New York Times “Best CDs of the 90’s: 4 1/2 star reviews: Curlew: A Beautiful Western Saddle” – Downbeat “Cartwright’s songs tap into some quintessential American soul…It’s an example of extraordinary artistry, and a singularly joyful one at that.” – Boston Rock “The resulting album is nothing short of spectacular. Each track exists in a world of its own without any acknowledgement of the musical boundaries collapsing around it.”– Exclaim! A Beautiful Western Saddle / The Hardwood is an extraordinary feast of cutting-edge American popular music: video documentation of Curlew, the best live band in North America during years (mid 1980-90s) when Downtown New York reigned as world capital of cutting edge music, and a reissue of Curlew’s most ambitious and critically acclaimed studio album. During the 1980s, Lower Manhattan was ground zero for creative popular music in North America and the seedbed for the most inventive and progressive popular music in the world.
