Regarding Henry (Threadgill)

April 3, 2010 — Mike

The always awesome Henry Threadgill is profiled in The Brooklyn Rail:

Threadgill has always been a protean artist, and his new disc, This Brings Us To, Volume 1, with his ensemble Zooid, is both the culmination of his long exploration of his own roots and a signpost on his road forward. (A second volume is expected this summer.) Threadgill’s roots grow directly from 19th-century American music, bypassing the most familiar and popular styles in jazz, and flower into an idiom that is simultaneously archaic and contemporary.

AACM to Feature New Compositions at the Velvet Lounge

April 3, 2010 — Mike

From chicagotribune.com:

Last summer, the AACM Great Black Music Ensemble pulled off a tour de force at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy.

Playing six shows in three nights, the incendiary, Chicago-based band ignited new scores by Ernest Dawkins, Ann Ward, Edwin Daugherty and other experimenters from Chicago’s AACM, or Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. The venture proved so successful — and so widely discussed — that the band now has transplanted the idea back home to Chicago.

Specifically, for the next several months, the AACM iconoclasts will offer themed concerts featuring world-premiere compositions at the Velvet Lounge.
