Roots of Blues -- Memphis Slim „The Life I'm Subsistence"
„The Life I'm Living" (P. Chatman) Recorded: no details available John "Memphis Slim" Chatman (born September 3, 1915, Memphis, Tennessee ...

seem free to include Roscoe Mitchell Sextet, Brass Fantasy, or any other project that the members of the Art Ensemble did. rythamatist- I'm horribly grudging. Smiley- Yeah, I havent seen them mentioned very often on here either. R&P was overrun with questions about Blink 182 reuniting so i figured it was a handsome time to retreat to the Jazz section for a bit. I totally agree with 69-71 as their best period, Les Stances a Sophie and the Jacksons at base are 2 of my favorites. Theme de Yo-Yo from les stances always knocks me off my feat. What a way to start an album, fontella bass is a force of properties on that recording. Incidentally, i also love a 69-71 album you didnt mention, Art ensemble of chicago featuring fontella bass, a much more cunning performance from her, but just as devastatingly effective. Roscoe Mitchell's Sound album and Jarmon's together alone with braxton are immeasurable albums also. Great picks. smiley- great video- malachi favors was a badass on that bass.

I saw them in programme in the late seventies or early eighties in Columbus, Ohio and was mesmerized. It gave me a whole new perspective on what music in general, and jazz in detail, could be. Plus, it was one of the first times I saw horn players in concert who were good at circular breathing. And being a drummer/percussionist myself it insecure me to world beat influences and afro/cuban rhythms. I've been to hundrds of concerts of every type of music imaginable, (and some incomprehensible) and that was one that really sticks in my head.

Wow...this is the first time I've ever heard them mentioned here! I preferred their earlier works, from around 1969-71.'A Jackson in Your Dynasty' is still one of my favorites, even after all these years. It would be followed by 'People in Sorrow', 'Les stances a Sophie', and 'Phase One'. Their mid to late 70's crop is worthy also, with 'Fanfare for the Warriors' being their best known album I would think. 'Kabalaba' was pretty decent also. I fairly enjoyed the 2001 release titled 'Zero Sun No Point (Dedicated to Mynona & Sun Ra)'. This was a collaborative struggle between the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Hartmut Geerken, who is a German "free jazz" composer, percussionist and poet, best known for his solve with Sun Ra. As you've mentioned, The Roscoe Mitchell Sextet were great also, as was Roscoe's solo album 'Sound' released in '66, and at generation reminded me a bit of Frank Zappa's earlier avant garde "free jazz" influenced freakier fill. The collaboration between French avant garde vocalist Brigitte Fontaine and AEC titled 'Comme a la Radiowith' was level-headed too. AEC sax man Joseph Jarman released a great album with jazz great Anthony Braxton in the mid 70's called 'Together Alone'...not destined if it's available on CD...but it's highly recommended if you dig free jazz! I just found a video on Youtube, which shows them in a tad funkier channel... I really enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4mTdOn5DzQ Art Ensemble Of Chicago music
