Art Ensemble of Chicago - Fanfare For The Warriors
SKU
15-ATLANTIC72395
Second of two albums originally released by Atlantic Records in the early 70's, and bringing their unique 'little instruments' slant on free-jazz to a much wider audience. Reissued in a cute little digi-pack!
" The Art Ensemble of Chicago's first (and arguably most significant) period concluded with this high-quality studio session. The quintet (trumpeter Lester Bowie, Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman on reeds, bassist Malachi Favors and drummer Don Moye) provides concise but adventurous performances. Highpoints include Mitchell's "Nonnaah," Bowie's humorous "Barnyard Scuffel Shuffle" and "Tnoona," but all of the selections have their own musical personality. It's a fine showcase for this important avant-garde unit."-Scott Yanow/All Music
