Album Notes & Community Reviews

AACM co-founder Muhal Richard Abrams assembled an exceptional large ensemble to execute his complex, sweeping compositions on 'Mama and Daddy'. The album masterfully bridges the swinging traditions of classic big band jazz with the dissonant, unrestricted freedom of the Chicago avant-garde. The result is a wildly unpredictable and structurally fascinating listening experience.
