Thanks Chris. I had always wanted to know what was going on in the LH.

He's doing two things at once, keeping track of the form and playing outside the changes.

When Bley plays outside he is probably focused on creating shapes...both melodic and physical... based on his intuition that evolved from his experiences as an improviser.

Beautiful play of tension and release. He goes back often enough to the harmony for me to not get lost. I haven't heard this before but I actually hear what he's doing -- holding the approach note to the chord tone (but not going to the chord tone) -- Basically holding resolution.

What do you mean? Can you site some examples by measure number in the transcription that Chris posted? Are you suggesting he is thinking music theory while he is playing free improvisation?

I've just posted on my blog about "Playing Outside of Chord Changes." http://www.polishookstudio.com/2014/01/jazz-piano-going-outside.htmlThe post has examples from and explanations of Charlie Parker, Paul Bley (from the ATTYA solo), Herbie Hancock, and John Coltrane. Another longer post about only the Paul Bley ATTYA solo is in the works.
