Carla Bley & Steve Swallow: Útviklingssang (Duets, 1988)

I suppose this is one of Carla Bley's most famous compositions, and rightly so: the melody is very beautiful and the harmony is both simple and full of subtlety. She plays this piece with great simplicity, like a song, which gives even more emotional weight to the moments of tension.

I use the chord names and structure that I found on Carla Bley's leadsheet, but if you ask me, I would rather notate G/A than Am11 ; and D/E than Em11.
