  • This appears to have initially aired on Channel 4 in the UK, and judging by this dub, saw a home video release at some point in Japan.
    Directed by William Mahin, produced by Neil Anthony.

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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.
