Both day and night, Art Ensemble Of Chicago musicians play intensely. They are also activists who fight for racial equality, and you can hear it.

The compositions are meticulous, each one is personal and different from the other.

Roscoe Mitchell shines brightly, this funky "Rock out"... The Parker's cover is breathtakingly precise and the "gospel" opening the album is a masterpiece of invention and originality.

The second side opens the valves.
