You wont regret it when you do.

i was supposed to get some of their stuff on a trade, but that fell through; time to download!

I've only heard 'certain blacks'. I don't remember much of it, but how does it compare to their other stuff?

Is 'Certain Blacks' one of the ones on the BYG label? I don't think I have that, but all those late 60's & early 70's recordings represent what the Art Ensemble is about pretty well.

Someone recommend me some. I've heard bits and found it fairly astonishing, but I've not seen anything for less than £40-odd.

Jeezus! What kind of ass backwards country do you live in?

The BYG/Get Back/4 Men with Beards reissue things are pretty easy to come by. Some of their early material was released in large quantities on Atlantic (Bap-tizum and Fanfare for the Warriors) and should be easily obtainable for not so much money.

Mmm, it's an original edition in Mint in a market jazz stall, and I've seen nothing else. I could always trawl the internet, but I do intend eating this month, and online shopping always puts a stop to that.

I've sent a link to their collaboration with Brigitte Fontaine to Everyneurotic that is wonderful. I will pm you some of their stuff from home, time permitting. They are everything that I like about a group of musicians, so effortlessly talented and in command of their instruments, most others pale in comparison.

batreleaser · 02.22.2008, 11:45 AM

theyre grrrrrrrreat! says tony the tiger.

and anyone who knows good avant garde jazz.

This Is Not Here · 11.30.2008, 02:21 AM

Their record with Brigitte Fontaine, Comme a La Radio is absolutely brilliant. Highly reccomended.

RdTv · 11.30.2008, 09:11 AM

As before stated a truly underrated and somewhat overlooked group.

SuperCreep · 11.30.2008, 10:15 AM

I only have Comme a La Radio and Les Stances a Sophie, which are both wonderful. I should really get more.
