This album is completely amazing and definately under-appreciated (the liner notes completely miss the boat). Three horn players and a bassist with an arsenal of sound makers. The completely improvised nature of these pieces make me long to have been able to sit in the same room with these guys, breathing in the same warm air (and whatever else they were inhaleing!), and watching the spontaneous sound portraits take shape. They start off with a deranged dada poem and go into a beautiful section with bowed bass, flute, and lots of little instruments. The second piece is anchored by an excellent walking bass line with more great percussive coloring and brilliant horn work. To me those first two pieces are essential Art Ensemble and pretty much essential listening for every human. The last two short pieces are more abstract and are more about the testing the sonic possibilities of their instruments. Also look for the "Jackson In Your House/Message To Our Folks" re-issue on BYG/Actuel/Charley (distributed by KOCH International) for more killer stuff from this period. Another album that I can't believe isn't available here is Jarman/Moye/Dyani's "Black Paladins" (Black Saint). I think it is from the last ten years or so, but it still has some solid and inspired playing on it. Kind of "world music" influenced but in a "free" atmosphere. Thank you AEOC!
