Live! (Carla Bley album)

Critical reaction to the album is generally positive but varies. The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "Listeners looking for prime Carla Bley would do better to search out her earlier, far more adventurous and creative work". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars and stated: "Live! is a treat, representing one of the finest performances by her and Mantler on record". ==Track listing==
