In a fanciful press release for this record, Carla Bley wrote that she wanted to make a record that would `put people in a mellow, sensual mood` as opposed to getting them all riled up as usual. She must have meant some of this ironically, for while Heavy Heart is a somewhat bright, light-minded album, there are plenty of dark undercurrents to be heard. For example, take the fascinating `Light or Dark,` where a light, happy texture is undercut by Hiram Bullock`s intruding dissonant guitar and Kenny Kirkland`s discordant comping. Or the ominously titled `Ending It,` with Gary Valente`s abrasive trombone dominating everyone or the dissonant, almost inaudible wind backings to Kirkland`s big-hearted piano on `Starting Again.` In any case, Bley`s iconoclastic imagination and ear for unusual sonorities is definitely in gear writing for her ten-tet and true to her word, a number like `Talking Hearts,` an alleged romantic dialogue between Bullock`s smooth guitar and Bley`s sly synthesizer, is saunteringly attractive stuff.
