	Art Ensemble of Chicago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ensemble returned to the United States in 1972, and the quintet of Mitchell, Jarman, Bowie, Favors and Moye remained static until 1993.
		The Art Ensemble is notable for its focus on multi-instrumentalism and its use of "little instruments" in addition to the traditional jazz lineup of saxophones, trumpet, bass and drums, as well the costumes and face paint band members wear while performing.
		Ensemble members embrace the performance art aspects of their concerts, believing that they allow the band to move beyond the strict limits of "jazz".

		The Art Ensemble, who had emerged from Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, were a quartet originally formed in 1967 who moved to Paris in 1969, picked up a drummer, and returned triumphant to the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival of 1972.
		Like their fellow travelers of the era (the Revolutionary Ensemble, Air, etc.), the Art Ensemble married free-jazz energy and radical politics to rigorous group arrangements and collective sensitivity.
		The album is full of such narrative development -- and this was the special joy of the Art Ensemble in concert, when the gods were in their favor.

		Rather, the Art Ensemble immerses much of their music firmly in the physical realm of human experience through the use of visceral, tribal rhythm -- a rhythm that has its origins in the African heritage of the Art Ensemble's players.
		The Art Ensemble's latest record, Tribute to Lester, finds the band playing to memorialize Lester Bowie, the former trumpeter for the Ensemble who died in 1999.
		Previous Ensemble affairs have typically been full of thick sound, a density that was the result of using five members plus contributors to play a plethora of diverse and often unorthodox instruments.

	* Dusted Reviews - Art Ensemble of Chicago *
		Bowie was a member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, one of the most enduring and influential group’s in the post-1965 history of the music.
		Over the span of three decades Bowie served as the AEC’s chief tone scientist, injecting liberal elements of funk and humor, and playing his part to the hilt by garbing himself in the trappings of a mad professor at the group’s countless concerts.
		The living chapter on Bowie’s contributions to the Art Ensemble might be closed in a pragmatic sense, but his legacy and influence will continue to flourish in the rich body of music he left behind.

	Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Coming Home Jamaica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Although Jarman has since left the band to explore his own spirituality, the Art Ensemble's latest offering, Coming Home Jamaica, finds the band reexamining many of their original ideals on a welcome, return-to-form album.
		Although "Malachi", with horns that cry, stutter and wail over a parched, barren background of silence, is a bit self-indulgent, the odd cerebral sounds of Bowie and Mithell's horns on "Jamaica Farewell" are strangely comforting, as they seem to be communicating with one another in some alien musical language.
		With only a handful of 'true' jazz artists still producing music worthy of the title 'jazz', the Art Ensemble of Chicago are probably one of the few bands that can keep this artform from becoming just a sound of the past.

	Nice Guys (The Art Ensemble of Chicago)
		The Art Ensemble has endured as long as it has because of its members' ability to support fully one another's often diverse musical impulses.
		Nice Guys reveals the many dimensions of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, from their crystalline delicacy, through their wry humor, to their unmitigated heaviness ("Dreaming of the Master").
		I saw the AEC about 20 times from 1976 through 1983, and I was lucky enough to catch them at an AACM festival shortly after the release of Nice Guys.

	Art Ensemble Of Chicago: Coming Home Jamaica ---Ink Blot Magazine
		In 1967 several members of Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) joined the Roscoe Mitchell Sound Ensemble in order to have a stable but flexible forum in which to explore their shared interests in historically minded and dramatically presented sonic exploration.
		Soon renamed after the city in which they formed, the Art Ensemble has espoused a policy of playing "Great Black Music From the Ancient to the Future" for thirty years.
		It would be a bit unfair to expect this record to be as radical as the Art Ensemble's seminal early work, on which they moved effortlessly from sardonic theatre pieces to hushed sound tapestries to ferocious free jazz blowouts.

		The long-time bassist with the Art Ensemble of Chicago has also played a variety of miscellaneous instruments (including banjo, zither, bells, gong, harmonica, melodica and percussion) on their many records.
		He's well known as a member of The Art Ensemble of Chicago, but Malachi Favors Maghostut is also a first-rate bassist outside that organization.
		He's played with many bebop, hard bop and free groups, and his rigorous accompaniment is a vital piece of The Art Ensemble puzzle.

	* Dusted Reviews - Art Ensemble of Chicago *
		The Art Ensemble of Chicago's contribution to the Rarum series collects tracks from the group's four ECM albums, as well as non-AEC pieces from group members Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman and the late Lester Bowie.
		But their conventional arrangements and structures sound positively quaint next to the Art Ensemble's "Magg Zelma," which announces its arrival with a splatter of bird-call saxophone wails, then settles into a lulling meditation for gong, vibraphone and other tuned percussion instruments, before finally morphing into percussive yet free-flowing avant-jazz.
		Selected Recordings isn't the most cohesive or best-recorded Art Ensemble record, but much of it sounds ahead of its time, and it's a fine introduction to the group's work from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.

		Bynum’s story is just another example of the ways in which Braxton — whose current sextet makes its Boston debut at the ICA this Saturday — has confounded expectations and defied categories for more than 30 years as a major figure in the American avant-garde.
		The pieces on those albums were a high expression of what’s sometimes called "free bop" — tight ensemble unison melodic themes, driving swing rhythms, and solos that alluded to chord changes but often took off into vast, jagged stretches of harmonic and rhythmic freedom.
		Braxton continued to release a torrent of recordings, almost exclusively on import labels (with the notable exceptions of Chicago’s Delmark and San Francisco’s Music and Arts), and in 1990 he took a position at Wesleyan.
