ART GALLERIES—DOWNTOWN Lisa Alvarado The Chicago-based artist-musician’s first solo show in New York is an abundance of lovely hanging pieces from an ongoing series she calls “Traditional Objects”. The geometric compositions recall Mexican textiles and float between categories - they are at once screens, paintings, and tapestries. Alvarado began making the works in 2010, as portable sets for her band Natural Information Society, an experimental ensemble of traditional and electronic instruments. (The group provides the atmospheric recorded soundtrack that plays in the gallery.) She makes elegant use of the gallery space, installing her vibrant, two-sided works to create airy partitions, evoking both theatrical and ceremonial uses. Visitors may feel as if a live happening is about to occur, and, indeed, musical performances are scheduled for 7:30 on May 8 (Angelica Sanchez, Gerald Cleaver, Joshua Abrams) and May 10 (Battle Trance).

American Music Review the H
American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLIV, Number 1 Fall 2014 Improvisation, Identity, Analysis, Performance Paul Steinbeck, Washington University in St. Louis In his classic article “Improvised Music after 1950,” George E. Lewis writes: “the development of the improvis- er ... is regarded as encompassing not only the formation of individual musical personality but the harmoniza- tion of one’s musical personality with social environments, both actual and possible.”1 What Lewis’s assertion means, first of all, is that an improviser’s sense of identity takes shape within a social matrix, and that ensemble performance offers improvisers a space where the personal and the social can intersect, interact, and integrate. Furthermore, his term “musical personality” underscores the numerous ways in which improvisers use sound to cultivate their own identities and negotiate identity with their fellow performers. The implications of Lewis’s words are worth exploring at some length before I turn to this essay’s main topic: musical analysis. Improvisers, especially those influenced by what Lewis describes asAfrological approaches to music-mak- ing, devote considerable time and effort to finding a crucial component of their identities: namely, their “per- sonal sound[s].”2 This process starts with the first decision any would-be musician makes—choosing to play an instrument or become a vocalist—and continues for years, perhaps decades. Instrumentalists search for the perfect mouthpiece, reed, mute, string, stick, skin, cymbal, pickup, microphone, or amplifier, and some even become skilled at making their own instru- ments and accessories.

The Freedom Principle Review – an Astounding Fusion of Jazz and Art by Jason Farago | July 17, 2015
The Freedom Principle review – an astounding fusion of jazz and art By Jason Farago | July 17, 2015 Contemporary art has grown omnivorous. These days, in your local white cube, you are as likely to see a dance or an experimental film as a painting. But music, somehow, remains a challenge for arts institutions: too abstract, too personal, too hard to present in three-dimensional space. The calamitous Björk retrospective at New York’s Museum of Modern Art this spring, where visitors had to wear headphones while looking at pop-star relics, was not the only false step lately. This year’s Venice Biennale features numerous musicians, notably the pianist Jason Moran, and yet music still felt like a temporary diversion rather than a coequal of fine art. If all it were remembered for was its engagement with musical history, then The Freedom Principle – an astounding new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago – would already stand as a landmark. In telling the story of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, a radical organisation of jazz artists founded in 1965, it does a better job than any show I have ever seen at analysing music and conveying its cultural importance. But The Freedom Principle, curated by Naomi Beckwith and Dieter Roelstraete, does even more than that. It shows how the themes of black cultural nationalism in the 1960s – an art engaged with political struggle, and unafraid to speak in a collective voice – continued a modernist artistic tradition of merging art into daily life. And it pushes into the present day, discovering the legacy of an important but under-appreciated musical tradition in contemporary art worldwide, from American sculptors to Albanian video artists.

Bozza Utima Improvvisazione DEF
! Paul Steinbeck «Like a cake made from five ingredients»: the Art Ensemble of Chicago’s social and musical practices Many music aficionados first encountered the Art Ensemble of Chicago in the 1980s, when the band was touring the world to promote its ECM albums Nice Guys, Full Force, Urban Bushmen, and The Third Decade.1 And a few Art Ensemble fans, mostly on the South Side of Chicago, still remember the group’s early years in the mid-1960s, when its founding members came together in the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and began to explore the practices that would make their perfor- mances so unique: multi-instrumentalism, group improvisation, and fusions of music with poetry, theater, and other forms of intermedia. But the best way to understand the Art Ensemble may be to examine the band’s activities in be- tween these two eras, after the mid-1960s and before the advent of the 1980s. During the ten-year period from 1969 to 1979, the Art Ensemble settled into its ‘classic’ lineup — adding Joseph Jarman and Famoudou Don Moye to the core of Roscoe Mitchell, Malachi Favors Maghostut, and Lester Bowie, a five-man configuration that would remain unchanged for a quarter-century.2 At the same time, the band members established a set of social practices that governed how they related to one another, individually and collectively, in situations ranging from concerts and recording sessions to the group’s busi- ness meetings. In my book Message to Our Folks, published in Italian as Grande Musica Nera, I argue that the Art Ensemble’s social practices were instrumental in 1.

Joseph Jarman: Black Case Volume I & II: Return from Exile May 18, 2020 by Brian Morton
Joseph Jarman: Black Case Volume I & II: Return From Exile May 18, 2020 By Brian Morton Who was the “real” leader of the Art Ensemble of Chicago? As missing-the- point questions go, it’s a good one. Lester Bowie’s “is there a doctor in the house?” schtick made him the most obviously charismatic member. You might cast Roscoe Mitchell as The Composer, until you scan the albums and find that the credits were a lot more democratic. Don Moye, the latecomer, may have completed the line-up, but he was never an engine-room drummer. Malachi Favors was a spirit-presence, often dark and troubling, but he followed as well as led. What we can say without strain is that Joseph Jarman was the group’s intellectual and poet, possessed of a mind that saw music as a continuum activity that aligned with language and the movements of the physical body, also with our place in the world. When he introduced his writings in 1977, he defined exile as “a state of mind that people get into in order to escape from the reality of themselves in the world of the now”, but insisted that it was a state from which it was always possible to return. Much of his music, and his writing, was concerned with that process of restoration. Jarman had included text (recited by Sherri Scott) in his early Delmark recording As If It Were The Seasons, but probably the only well-known text is Non-Cognitive Aspects Of The City, of which Mitchell’s setting became a key component of the AEC repertoire.
