Seems that Max Gordon didn't like synthesizers at all :-) An excerpt from Stopping Time: Paul Bley and the Transformation of Jazz. ... I remember fondly a concert at the Village Vanguard. I had the synthesizer on the stage, a trio waiting to perform, an audience waiting for us to begin, and I was on the floor looking up under the synthesizer with a pocket flashlight and a screwdriver and the house mike, asking the audience to please bear with us. Max Gordon told me three things: get out, stay out and don't come back. I haven't played the Vanguard since. After doing the first live performance ever done with audio synthesizer and voice treatment at Philharmonic Hall in Friday on December 26th.1969 at 8:30PM, Annette and I received an offer to take the show to Europe. I should have learned my lesson while I was lying on the stage of the Vanguard, but I was so excited about this instrument, that I accepted the offer and went on the road. ...

This one has some great electric piano playing although most of the tracks are acoustic. Really worth to check out. Paul Bley, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen
