Muhal Richard Abrams: Young At Heart/ Wise In Time (CD: Delmark)
The spring of 1969, when this album was recorded, was at the end of a most intense period for Muhal Richard Abrams and his associates. Four years earlier they had formed the cooperative Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. The AACM's initial objective was simple enough: To produce concerts, at a time when the jazz world in general and in Chicago in particular were struggling through an economic recession. Very quickly, it was clear that something larger was happening, for these were exceptional musicians whom Abrams had taught , nurtured, goaded. It's as if the jazz revolution begun by Ornette Coleman had lit a fuse that stretched a thousand miles, from New York to the south side of Chicago, to set off four years of fireworks.

 | Muhal Richard Abrams: Things To Come From Those Now Gone (CD: Delmark)
Pianist Muhal Richard Abrams co-founded the AACM in 1965 and served as its president almost continuously until 1977 when he moved to New York. Michael Cuscuna wrote "In the mid '60s, he spearheaded the AACM Chicago avant garde movement, leading his own band and working with the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Anthony Braxton, among others. Things To Come is his third album for Delmark and his most varied - seven compositions, all set with different instrumentation. Abrams' brilliant eclectic playing and composing come through well." This '72 session features Ari Brown, Steve McCall, Rufus Reid and others. (Delmark Records)
