Reading George E. Lewis: A Power Stronger Than Itself

  • 51jqrialwml

The Chicago-based Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians is an enduring model of arts activism and self-determination. Founded in 1965 by a small group including key composers Muhal Richard Abrams and Phil Cohran, the association cultivated community-music programs in the South Side of Chicago while corralling a who's-who of the jazz avant-garde (Anthony Braxton, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Roscoe Mitchell). George E. Lewis joined in 1971, and tonight the trombonist visits City Lights with his decade-in-the-making AACM history, A Power Stronger Than Itself.
