  • All Music Guide

    In 1969, the Art Ensemble of Chicago (which had recorded just one official record, Congliptious, as a group at that point in time), moved to Paris for two years and recorded eight albums during their first year overseas alone.

The stillstartling music, which uses space, dynamics, and a wide range of emotions expertly, is not for everyone's taste (the highenergy tenors of the mid'60s are actually easier to get into), but worth the struggle.
