Art Ensemble Of Chicago - A Jackson In Your House Message To Our Folks
Review by Jay Medina
The Art Ensemble of Chicago's album A Jackson In Your House Message To Our Folks is a seminal work of avant-garde jazz, released in 1969. The album features the group's signature blend of free jazz, African rhythms, and experimental instrumentation, with a heavy emphasis on percussion and brass.
The album's title track, "A Jackson in Your House," is a sprawling 20-minute epic that showcases the ensemble's improvisational prowess and their ability to seamlessly blend disparate musical styles. The track features a variety of instruments, including saxophones, trumpets, drums, and percussion, all of which are used to create a complex and dynamic soundscape.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Get in Line," which features a driving, funky groove and some impressive solo work by saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell, and "Old Time Religion," which incorporates elements of gospel music into the group's experimental sound.
