European Tour 1977

European Tour 1977 is an album by American composer, bandleader and keyboardist Carla Bley. Recorded in 1977 in Munich, Germany, it was released on the Watt/ECM label in 1978.

Reception
Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated: "One of Carla Bley's most rewarding recordings ... unusual, somewhat innovative and always fun music." The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album three stars. The Milwaukee Journal considered it "among the funniest jazz albums ever made." In 1996, Billboard noted that Bley has "been steadily praised for integrating whimsy into her scores... On European Tour 1977, there was a daffy nature to the sophisticated orchestration."
