Until this point, Carla Bley has been known to throw in a shot of wry humor into almost every cocktail she mixes. But it's not until I Hate To Sing that she fashions her live persona into that of a standup comedian. The limited vinyl release from 1984 (reissued on CD in 1996) exhibits some of the bandleader's slyest compositions via her ability to craft an entire world out of notes and materials.

More than any of her other albums, I Hate To Sing is a showcase of Carla Bley's ability to not only write witty music, but come up with amusing lyrics as well.
