Talk:Carla Bley

Photo
Can we get a better photograph? She just appears as part of a black shadow in this photo, barely discernable at the keyboard. Dogru144 06:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, ask her for a date and shoot a portrait... Ericd 23:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * its always easier to claim for something than to do better by one self. --Michl 07:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

It's rather good. Just needs cropped a bit to fit that tiny infobox. Adam Cuerden talk 07:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Right. I've cropped it for the infobox, then put the full image later. If we crop a bit of the left side, the full image looks better in the constrained dimensions, so I've done that, and removed a distracting stage light. Adam Cuerden talk 07:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Good idea to crop the picture for infobox. However I have posted another version I prefer something less centered. Ericd 10:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Works for me! Adam Cuerden talk 12:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've also copied the image into Paolo Fresu and Andy Sheppard. Adam Cuerden talk 12:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't know that there were article for Paolo Fresu and Andy Sheppard. I will dig in my archive to see If I have a better picture of then. However as far as I remember I was stuck in a corner and didn't shot a lot of different angles. Ericd 14:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I could also look for an higher resolution scan to crop. Ericd 14:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Go for it! And consider nominating one of them to FP - they do seem to have quality and illustrative value. Adam Cuerden talk 10:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

What's the real year of birth: the one in the article or in the side-bar?

List of works by Carla Bley
 Support split - The list of works takes up more than one quarter of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled List of works by Carla Bley. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:29, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Overlapping date confusion
The "Early Life" section states that she divorced her first husband in 1967, but the next section states that she married her second husband in 1965. Assuming she was not a bigamist, surely one of those facts is incorrect? Ray Radlein (talk) 07:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The second year seems solid, - so I removed the year of the divorce as less well sourced. Better ideas welcome. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:02, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
