▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Seminal work from the Art Ensemble of Chicago -- ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded during their most creative period ever! ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The album was recorded live in October of 1969 -- ▓▌
▓████▓▌ at a time when the group had pulled up roots and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ moved to France for a few years, bursting on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ European scene with unique creativity that was not ▓▌
▓████▓▌ getting the recognition it deserved in their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hometown of Chicago. The studio sets from this time ▓▌
▓████▓▌ are already the stuff of legend, and have ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thankfully made it back on reissue heavily the past ▓▌
▓████▓▌ few years -- and this brilliant live set stands ▓▌
▓████▓▌ perfectly next to them -- matching any of the LPs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in the Great Black Music series on BYG/Actuel for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sheer creative brilliance and soulful energy! ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Fontella Bass joins the group for a bit of vocals, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and the 2CD set features 2 long tracks -- "Bon ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Voyage" and "Oh Strange". ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ............................ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Recorded in 1969, Live in Paris follows two studio ▓▌
▓████▓▌ albums that the Art Ensemble cut for BYG/Actuel ▓▌
▓████▓▌ during the same year ù A Jackson in Your House and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Message to Our Folks. What Parisian audiences must ▓▌
▓████▓▌ have made of the band with its wild makeup and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ costumes can only be debated, but the music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ contained on this double-CD reissue of the original ▓▌
▓████▓▌ double album is stellar (the LP was issued on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Arista Freedom label in the United States in 1974 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and this set was originally issued by Charly in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ United Kingdom in 2002). Each CD features one ▓▌
▓████▓▌ composition, divided into two parts, in keeping ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with the LP releases. "Oh, Strange," by Joseph ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Jarman and Lester Bowie, begins with a very short, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bluesy jazz theme that is augmented almost ▓▌
▓████▓▌ immediately with all manner of percussion ▓▌
▓████▓▌ instruments, which multiply until they literally ▓▌
▓████▓▌ take over, leaving Jarman and Mitchell, who ▓▌
▓████▓▌ knottily play a folk song variation on the opening ▓▌
▓████▓▌ theme that is articulated over moans, groans, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ droning baritone and tenor saxophones. Dynamics and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tension begin to gradually shift as notions of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tempo, and even striated harmonics, are laid waste ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in the din. But this far from unlistenable noise; ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in fact, perhaps now in the 21st century more than ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ever before, the freewheeling improvisations of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Art Ensemble make a kind of syntagmatic sense. On ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the other monolithic piece here, "Bon Voyage," ▓▌
▓████▓▌ written by Bowie, the Art Ensemble is accompanied ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by the composer's then-wife, singer Fontella Bass, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ who recorded "Les Stances α Sophie" with them later ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Famoudou Don Moye was not yet a member of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ensemble). Bass uses her rhythm and blues grit and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gospel dynamics and control to improvise alongside ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the bandmembers, who have to make plenty of room ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for her contribution. There is a wondrous tension ▓▌
▓████▓▌ at play in the oppositional fields of male and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ female energies here. Bass swoops, glides, hollers, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ moans, and sings her way into the maelstrom of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ space. This is the finest live recording by the Art ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ensemble, and documents the first tour of a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ legendary band that created new standards not only ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for improvisation but for performance as well. Now ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that Lester Bowie and Malachi Favors Maghostus have ▓▌
▓████▓▌ left this world, reissues like this help listeners ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to remember how enormous their accomplishments ▓▌
▓████▓▌ were. ▓▌
