Art Ensemble Of Chicago is an avant-garde jazz group hailing from Chicago, Illinois. Formed in the late 1960s, they emerged from the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). With their innovative and experimental approach to music, Art Ensemble Of Chicago has become a pioneering force in the jazz scene.

Inspired by artists such as Anthony Braxton, Don Cherry, and Albert Ayler, Art Ensemble Of Chicago pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of jazz. Their unique sound combines elements of free improvisation, African rhythms, and various musical styles from around the world.

Known for their captivating live performances and diverse instrumentation including saxophones, trumpets, percussion instruments, and more; Art Ensemble Of Chicago continues to captivate audiences with their fearless exploration of sound. They have left an indelible mark on the genre and remain influential to this day.

Second of the Art Ensemble’s renowned trio of albums for BYG/Actuel, Message to Our Folks is a masterclass of improvisation, inspired by but also transcending established black music genres. Recorded at Studio Saravah A ugust 1969, the title referred to African American audiences back home, who would r ecognise many of the gospel, funk, bebop and even r ock influences the Art Ensemble draw upon here. Typically, their interpretations prove approach brings fire and imagination to the mix. Whilst they’d evolved from out of the collision of free jazz, radical theatre and Black Nationalism happening in US during the late 60s, the band really came into their own after relocating to Paris. The enthusiastic welcome they were given by French audiences revitalised them and inspired many unforgettable performances and recordings, including this classic ‘Message to Our Folks’.&nbsp;
