The Third Decade

by Art Ensemble of Chicago

The Third Decade cover art

Celebrating twenty years of musical exploration, the legendary avant-garde quintet released this eclectic and highly regarded session for ECM Records. 'The Third Decade' seamlessly transitions between sparse, abstract free improvisation and unexpectedly infectious, rhythmic excursions heavily influenced by jazz-funk and reggae. The album beautifully captures the group's foundational ethos of 'Great Black Music, Ancient to the Future'.
