Art Ensemble of Chicago - Eda Wobu

Since we got a little AACM flood going here, I thought I'd chip in with this one. This one has always remained a bit of mystery in the AOEC discography. It's listed as released on the JMY label, but very hard to come by these days. Found this on the fine free jazz group on Usenet and thanks to "Tom F." for putting it up in the first place.

What you get here is one close to fifty minute slab of Paris 69 AEOC in the original quartet format. Regular listeners to Paris-period AEOC would know what to expect. This has to my knowledge not been out in any other form(at) before, so it fills in a hole for those of us who do not like any holes in our AEOC collection.

It nicely complements the earlier posting of the Smith-Jarman-Mitchell concert from 2000, so listeners are advised to draw comparisons across time and space.

Dig in!

Art Ensemble of Chicago - Live at Fabrik, Hamburg, Germany 1987 (FM recording)

I picked this up off the net some time ago. It originates from a German radio broadcast. I'm not an expert on AEOC's work, but I've never heard them play Ayler's Ghosts before. I'd be interested if any afficionados out there can add titles to the unknowns. They're full of the usual gongs, bells, sirens, whistles etc that typifies AEOC's work. There's some fiery blowing on Ghosts, but I'm not sure whether it's from Jarman or Mitchell (or a combination).

Tracklist:
01 Unknown 13:05
02 Ghosts 22:38
03 Unknown 7:32
04 Unknown 14:52
05 No Woman No Cry 4:52
