Paul Bley - piano
"Since the Montreal-born, longtime-US resident Bley's 50's debut with Mingus and Blakey, he's worked with more first-rate, wide ranging original musical minds than anyone but Miles...." (Howard Mandel, Downbeat, April 1995). This is Paul Bley's fifth solo piano recording for Justin Time, and it’s classic Bley - introspective, personal, intelligent and above all, individual. A national treasure in his native Canada, he is, with Oscar Peterson and Glenn Gould, one of the greatest pianists that country has ever produced.
"Bley is the only pianist to have played with both Charlie Parker and Ornette Coleman. Bley has always been an innovative musician, collaborating with Coleman and the 'outside' Sonny Rollins of the early Sixties (Bley is the pianist on one of the strangest, and most oddly beautiful of all jazz records, Sonny Meets Hawk [Coleman Hawkins]." Eric Nisenson, Music, Computers, and Software August 1997
"He is a genius, oh yes..."
"...there are few pianists in any form of music who so intriguingly interweave the surprises of both beauty and the intellect."

Arguably, pianist and composer Paul Bley is at his best on his solo outings. It's not that his ensemble music is lacking in any way; it may even be more sophisticated. But in his solo settings, Bley truly allows the listener in on his sound world, his manner of lyric thinking, his conflicts, his ideas of silence and its place, and his dialogues with the music and their outcome. Nothing to Declare is his fifth solo outing for Justin Time. There are four pieces, the shortest of which is over eight minutes long. In these long solos, Bley doesn't just stretch out; he rambles across ideas in song and in musical history; he approaches concepts and techniques with the same weight he does his innate pointillistic lyricism. His engagement of the blues is everywhere present but not always apparent. His beautiful meditation on Jerome Kern's "All the Things You Are" cuts across notions of jazz, popular song, and classical notions, while his "8th Avenue" pays a beautiful and engrossing tribute to Fats Waller. "Breakdown" is an excursion into the intricacies of the blues, from its phraseology and tonalities to its elemental song forms and modulations. In all, Nothing to Declare is Bley's best outing for Justin Time thus far. It's simple in its presentation, but labyrinthine in its journeys.
