Three of the chapters are dedicated to detailed analyses of three of the more than fifty releases by the Art Ensemble: A Jackson in Your House (BYG Actuel, 1969), Live at Mandell Hall (Delmark Records, 1972) and Live from the Jazz Showcase (a concert video recorded in 1981, released on VHS by Rhapsody Films in 1990).
