In all fairness, the jazz world has long been weighed down by pretentious album titles that it's nice to see a little humor in there. There's historically been such a lack of it, especially in the titles. Carla Bley probably deserves mad props for bringing humor to the party.
(That and being really brilliant.)

It's not only titles -- it's the poetry/lyrics that sometimes accompanies these albums. Talk about pretense! Anyhoo, I have only heard one disc by Carla Bley -- "4x4" -- and absolutely love it. Can anyone recommend where I should go from here? Thanks, Tom
