about

This is the first CD with chamber music by Muhal Richard Abrams, one of the most highly respected musicians in the contemporary music scene. He is co-founder of The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), founder of The AACM School of Music, and the first recipient of the grand international jazz award, The JazzPar Prize, by the Danish Jazz Center (1990). Except for a brief period of study at the Chicago Musical College and Governors State University in Chicago where he studied electronic music, Abrams is predominantly a self-taught musician who, as a result of many years of observation, analysis, and practice as a performing musician, has developed a command of a variety of musical styles both as a pianist and composer. Abrams and members of the AACM are responsible for some of the most original new music approaches of the last three decades.

Where has this gem been all this time!? Riveted from the first note. Gripping, rhythmic, poetic… something of Ravel, though Scarbo has slunk away with his tail between his legs. Nice cover image by Ernst Haeckel too. errantzephyr
