Nice Guys was the first Art Ensemble of Chicago album released
after a five-year recording hiatus and the group's first for
the ECM label. During those five years, the Art Ensemble toured
Europe and continued to expand its compositional,
improvisational, and theatrical jazz fundamentals, captured
abundantly on Nice Guys. Broken up into six pieces, two each
from Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman and one each from Lester
Bowie and Don Moye, the album reveals how the AEC managed to
turn individual compositions into a fully realized,
surprisingly accessible, avant garde group collective. Nice
Guys maintains its edge while incorporating reggae, New Orleans
marches, and a wide use of space complemented by "little
instruments" (car horn, whistles, etc.). The strongest portion
of the disc is the finale "Dreaming of the Master," dedicated
to Miles Davis and sounding not unlike Davis' mid-'60s quintet
-- while maintaining the AEC edge.
