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,
