CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com essential recording This two-CD set documents a 1981 Munich concert, emphasizing the unfolding ritual and orchestral breadth that the Art Ensemble has always used to structure and channel the energy of free jazz. Employing versions of drummer Don Moye's processional "Promenade: Cote Bamako" to bracket the performance, the band uses extended percussion pieces to create a mood of high drama. Within that heightened space, they travel far afield, from Joseph Jarman's extended suite "Theme for Sco," with its use of military bugle calls, to Roscoe Mitchell's puckish "Peter and Judith," to the warm melancholy of Lester Bowie's "New York Is Full of Lonely People." It's a riveting, kaleidoscopic concert. --Stuart Broomer Similar CDs

CD ReviewsUrban Bushmen: The Art Ensemble in top form 06/15/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Urban Bushmen is a thrilling record. The AEC's trademark percussion ensembles, jocular takes on marching music, etc., are surrounded by inspired playing. "New York is full of lonely people" is one of Lester Bowie's most enduring and beautiful melodies. Long enough to allow the group to do its characteristic stretching of time on long improvs, this is still, in my view, an accessible record. A great place to start exploring the music of the full quintet version of the band, along with their other ECM albums, and a pair of their live sets from early 70's." Best group ever! Elida Somarriba | 10/30/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Take a travel through your mind, body and soul as you listen to any of the albums by the Art Ensemble of Chicago. I highly recomend that you not only check Urban Bushmen out, but as well as all the other albums. I love the music because I can hear all the love and power behind the music that the Art Ensemble of Chicago creates. It's a definate must in everyones cd collection."
