A continuation of the work begun by Carla Bley with poet Paul Haines on "Escalator over the Hill". "The world view ‘Appetites’ conveys is diametrically opposed to Marshal McLuhan’s vision of the global village. Its sinister jungles, incurable diseases, and ultimately insoluble conflicts between full stomachs and empty ones are more reminiscent of Paul Bowles’s bleak, despairing, but exquisitely crafted third world travelogues. A challenging work with a jumpy, eccentric surface and murky depths." – The New York Times. Very hip band: Julie (Driscoll) Tippetts, Gato Barbieri, Howard Johnson, Dave Holland, Paul Motian…
