CARLA BLEY Escalator Over The Hill 3xLP avant jazz NM
Carla Bley and Paul Haines - Escalator Over The Hill
JCOA Records 3LP-EOTH
1971 US Issue
Condition - Box: EX w/ split corners upper and lower right. Booklet and Vinyl: Like New.
Escalator over the Hill (or EOTH) is mostly referred to as a jazz opera, but it was released as a "chronotransduction" with "words by Paul Haines, adaptation and music by Carla Bley, production and coordination by Michael Mantler", performed by the Jazz Composer's Orchestra.
Escalator over the Hill is more than two hours long and was recorded in three years, 1968 to 1971. It was originally released as a triple LP box which also contained a booklet with lyrics, photos and profiles of the musicians. Side six of the original LPs ended in a locked groove. Consequently, the last song "... And It's Again" vanishes in a humming sound like distant insects, continuing infinitely on manual record players.
The many musicians collectively involved in the original recording act in various combinations , covering a wide range of musical genres, from Kurt Weill's theater music to free jazz, rock and world music (although that term didn't exist yet), summing up "much of the creative energy that was loose between 1968 and 1972".
