Night-Glo is an album by American composer, bandleader and keyboardist Carla Bley, with bassist Steve Swallow, recorded and released on the Watt/ECM label in 1985. [1] [2]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell deemed the album "a relaxed, easygoing, easy-listening series of compositions that nearly spills over into fuzak... Bley permits the lazy pina-colada mood to amble undisturbed from track to track". [3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 2½ stars. [4]
