4. Paul Bley 'Solo in Mondsee' (ECM 1786)

“Basically, the body of music that exists is like a river meeting a dam – constantly accumulating. Finally it will break through.... The music is inevitable, and it cannot stand still; it never has been able to stand still. It will change, and it will flow, but the seeds of the solution always exist in the music itself.”Paul Bley in Down Beat, in 1964
