The narrow study where Carla Bley does her composing, upstairs in her rustic-modern house here, was the picture of tidy efficiency one recent afternoon. Handwritten sheet music covered a writing stand and the rack of an upright piano. A blank legal pad sat on a desk. Bookshelves held scores in labeled folders: “Healing Power.” “Liver of Life.” “Ups and Downs.”
