Show detail Hide detail

Series containing sound recordings, video recordings, and a film of musicians other than Paul Bley, and related records. Included are extensive studio recordings (including edited and unedited unmixed masters, unmixed copies, assemblies, and master mixes), predominantly made for Bley's company, Improvising Artists Inc., many of which were subsequently issued in whole or in part. Bley's notations on the audio reel boxes of IAI recordings often record his comments on the music and on technical aspects of the recording, and also indicate decisions regarding such aspects as the selection of performances to be issued, editing, assembly, mixing, and song titling. Also included are: unissued promotional and demonstration recordings received by Bley; unissued recordings by Bley's musical acquaintances and collaborators; dubs of music broadcast on television or radio and other copies and compilations of music copied or accumulated by Bley. Among the related records are: take sheets, track sheets, and other listings of personnel, titles, and other contextual and technical information; notes; correspondence; promotional material, such as résumés and a poster; and empty audio reel boxes and fragments of boxes.

Arrangement note:

Sound recordings pertaining to Sun Ra's St Louis Blues: Solo Piano, IAI 37.38.58, are described as part of MUS 297/E (Paul Bley recordings and related records), and not as part of the present series, because of their integral connection with the unmixed masters and unmixed copies of the Bley-Sun Ra performances at Axis-in-Soho, July 1977, which are also described in MUS 297/E., The recordings are arranged according to the date of performance, which is generally (but not always) the same as the date of creation.
