A Revamped AACM Steps Forward

~ Mike

From the Chicago Reader:

Chicago’s venerable AACM recently underwent an executive shuffle that brought in some young blood. Flutist Nicole Mitchell continues in the top spot, but drummer Mike Reed has signed on as vice chair, cellist Tomeka Reid is the new treasurer, and vocalist Saalik Ziyad has stepped in as secretary.

The revamped leadership recently announced its first new endeavor, the Nomadic Sound Experiment, a bimonthly concert series designed to bring the AACM’s music to different parts of the Chicago metropolitan area.

Mike Reed: Jazz Timekeeper, Rock Tastemaker

NPR Music presents a feature on Mike Reed.

NPR.org, December 3, 2008 – You have to hand it to Chicago-based jazz drummer, bandleader and concert presenter Mike Reed: The guy knows how to shape an aesthetic. As the force behind the Pitchfork Music Festival, he’s created an annual Mecca for the discerning rock geek, a bargain-priced event with an uncommonly focused vision.

Although he’s said that his Pitchfork post and his jazz gig don’t intertwine all that much, his own music exhibits similar taste-making deliberation. Earlier this fall, Reed released two terrific jazz recordings simultaneously: Proliferation, with a group he calls People, Places & Things; and The Speed of Change, with a quintet he’s dubbed Loose Assembly.
