Following his BARRAGE album, which featured Marshall Allen of the Sun Ra Arkestra, trumpeter, Dewey Johnson, Paul Bley went back to the studio to record a very different album with bassist, Steve Swallow and percussionist, Barry Altschul. He chose works by Carla Bley and Annette Peacock, and one of his own, titled Figfoot, for a series of languid reflections. - Bernard Stollman

Press Quotes


"The interplay between these three is startling in how tightly woven they are melodically and harmonically." - Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

"In the final analysis, however, it is his vision that propels the music forward. He fills it with vigor and dynamism, with space and lyricism; nothing is out of focus, every challenge is within his grasp. His eloquence is shaped by his ability to balance silence with sound, as well as his penchant for, and skill with, unusual phrasing." - Jerry D'Souza, All About Jazz

Ida Lupino was chosen as NPR's Song of the Day - October 15th, 2008
