Damn this fucking sucks ass

Interviewer isn't bright enough.

Nice guys -ich liebe sie!

I helped "sponsor "them.for a gig at CalArts in 1979..it was just after the ECM release "Nice Guys ". They were almost always totally "On "at every concert i saw them at accept one gig at Symphony Space in NYC. I asked Lester and Roscoe what was up w that ? They replied they were jet lagged and had to go from airport to the concert .. Such was the life .

April 5th, not 15th

Any more UWA stuff?

Not max... Looks like Detroit

wow

This is excellent ❤Thank you Knox 🙏

Pure brilliance and illumination!

singing into an empty mic stand - what a showman

Getting a Chrome kinda vibe from this.

A pure jewel inside black music's story

THAT'S MY MUSIC!

Saw them play in the early 80's in Reykjavik - I knew nothing about them then but found them absolutely Fantastic and it's one of the most memorable concert I've been to. After the concert I started to buy their albums and to this day "Full Force" on ECM is one of my all time favourite Jazz album.

Oh brother this guy STINKS

He said whut?!

This shit goes too hard!!🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️🧯🧯🧯🧯🚒

I guess the interviewer was trying his best. Gen is extremely gracious as usual.

what's the song starting from 13:01?

With "The Art Ensemble of Chicago" every performance was a big event. I was good friends with some of the members. Lester was the most lovable person and Joseph and Famadou came to visit me at my home one time or another.

PURE FIRE……………

WHOA - GOOD FUN

Thank you for this

Why did the jerkyboys not claim this?

Such a treasure.

Thanks for all your work preserving these nearly lost obscurities!

Yo!!!

One of the great groups I always return to over the years.. liberation music... no rules... all the AACM stuff continues to inspire...

10:25 Lester! "it's not a doctor's coat, first of all, it's a lab coat..." "it stands for research, and I stand for research, so I wear the coat. I'm kind of a research trumpeter!"

Okay, this is what I was trying to tell this guy. The New Thing, probably more than any Jazz movement except Swing, needs to be seen LIVE. Notice that I use the present tense, because it's still alive!

I saw them and enjoyed them , here in Los Angeles, live, about 10 or 15 years ago, at Cal State LA.

Another great live version of Funky AEOC. Yikes! Peace and Wholeness.

They were one of my favorite groups in the 80s.

thanks for uploading fantastic 🙏🙏🙏🥳

right on, Knox

Dar said I approve this message.

You sound better by your self. I hear some drumish stuff best Iv heard yet. Cool.

I often heard Joseph Jarmen and his ensemble at the Hyde Park Art Center in the late 60's. I was fascinated by their music; this was at the time I was just learning to play alto sax.

I really liked the part where Don Moye just started firing a gun in the middle of a song.

That bass entry at around 0:40 tho
