Most commonly referred to as the AACM, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians was formally founded in Chicago in 1965 by pianist and composer Muhal Richard Abrams.
While the AACM is perhaps the best known organization in this style, a similar coalition grew in St. Louis: the Black Artists Group (BAG).

  The Sixties, Chicago, and the AACM
AACM saxophonist Anthony Braxton attributed Chicago's success as a free jazz center to the city's social upheaval and the alternative movements taking place, especially ones that centered in Chicago (Lock 48).
As a result of the success, the AACM was able to focus on social concerns of the fl population of Chicago along with their original purpose of finding work for avant-garde jazz musicians.
As the AACM now exists as the oldest and most thriving organization of its kind, it is possible to see with clear light why the AACM flourished in Chicago during the 1960s and why it still exists as a flourishing organization for the advancement of creative music.

 Delmark AACM Reissues : Features : One Final Note
Upon its recognition as an official cooperative organization by the State of Illinois in May 1965, the AACM embarked on an ambitious journey to both expose the South Side's predominantly African American residents to their decidedly non-commercial music and to help them reach a better understanding of their heritage through a myriad of educational programs.
Solo performance was a tenet of the AACM philosophy from the outset—the idea being that anyone who could produce an interesting and coherent musical statement without the interaction of others would only be that much stronger a player in an ensemble setting.
Fortunately, Delmark didn't stop recording AACM artists when the collective's first chapter came to a close; in fact, the label has been and continues to be one of the most consistent sources for AACM music in the world.

The AACM is a positive thing, and so is art.
