When will the blues leave

Description

In 1999, just one year after recording the magnificent reunion album Not Two, Not One, Paul Bley, Gary Peacock and Paul Motian hit the road to present, in concerts on both sides of the Atlantic, the highly innovative music of their enchanting trio. When Will The Blues Leave captures a superb performance given by the group as part of this tour at the Aula Magna in Trevano, Switzerland. It features, in addition to Ornette Coleman’s angular and mysterious free-bop composition that gives the album its title, Paul Bley’s energetic “Mazatlan,” Gary Peacock’s timeless “Moor,” Gershwin’s tender and melancholic melody “I Loves You Porgy... and much more... All of it elevated by the subtlety of these great masters of improvisation, constantly giving the music new shapes and directions.
