Nice Guys

The Art Ensemble of Chicago's debut on the influential ECM label, 'Nice Guys' brought their unique and eclectic vision to a wider audience. The album is a brilliant showcase of their stylistic range, moving seamlessly from the reggae-inflected title track to free-form explorations, lyrical ballads, and abstract soundscapes. It perfectly captures their 'Great Black Music: Ancient to the Future' ethos, blending tradition and innovation with their signature wit and theatricality.
