Tropic Appetites is a jazz album by Carla Bley released in 1974, following her debut Escalator over the Hill . The lyrics are contributed by Bley's friend Paul Haines, based on his journeys to Southeast Asia in the preceding years. Unlike on the orchestral Escalator, the band is an octet, with Julie Tippetts as lead vocalist. [1] [5]
