Thanks for this posting! I must live in the wilderness because I had no idea that Mr Bley had passed. RIP. So many great albums --for his own label in the 1970s and later on ECM, especially-- and what an awesome interviewee. I regret never having a chance to see him live.
It's a shame that Bley couldn't enjoy the wider audience that Jarrett found, but at least we know that Bley was there first, musically speaking, and chose to move on. The interview you posted is sooo helpful in understanding Bley's perspective on all manner of things.
