1981 - Fictitious Sports (With Carla Bley)

Release date: May, 1981

Recorded at: Georg Kill Studio, Willow, New York

Nick did little more then financing this project, playing some drums, and lending his name to it, all in order to give Carla Bley, who is along with her husband, Mike Mantler, well known and respected in the jazz world, more widespread coverage. By all standards, this is a Carla Bley album with Nick on drums, but it bears his name, so it should be included here.
