Art Ensemble of Chicago |
Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
Art Ensemble of ChicagoU.S. jazz ensemble. The group evolved from the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), an experimental collective. Saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman, trumpeter Lester Bowie, bassist Malachi Favors, and drummer Don Moye formed the group in 1969, combining freely changing tempos, dynamics, and textures with an often comic theatricality of presentation. Their diversity of inspiration is expressed by their motto, “Great Black Music: Ancient to the Future.” |

| Lord High Fixers In a dream, Curtis Mayfield and Phil Ochs turned the Art Ensemble of Chicago into protest punk, and the LHF were born. He also investigates how Cecil Taylor (himself a poet), Archie Shepp (yep, he as well), and the Art Ensemble of Chicago successfully incorporated complex poetic texts in their recorded performances. DJ Spooky chooses a likely object, Reich's 1995 "City Life," and gives it a Fourth World improv arrangement worthy of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. |
