The Art Ensemble Of Chicago
 

The free world of jazz! I've worked with the group back in the 90's...What an experience to have on your resume. These cats we're the real men of jazz, If you know what I mean....The old School jazz cat's. I would just like to pay respect to one of the group's that started it all in the avant guard area, and change my life forever!

If you don't know them please yahoo or Google them!

Ancent to the future

for those interested i suggest starting with 'Americans Swinging in Paris' or 'Les Stances a Sophie'

both albums feature this gem

"Fanfare for the warriors" is also a good album from the band.

Stances a Sophie is grand.

Let's not forget "People in Sorrow" Album... The stances of sophie is with the Great voice of Fontella Bass ( Rescue me) on The Yo Yo song.

that's actually the other half of the 'Americans Swining in Paris' compilation. :beer:
