about

‘A Jackson in Your House’ is the first of the Art Ensemble of Chicago’s renowned trio of albums for BYG's Actuel series.

This album is The Art Ensemble’s most celebrated release and finds the American avant-garde jazz collective at their most sensational, mocking and startling original best.

Recorded in June 1969, at Studio Saravah in Paris during the aftermath of widespread anti-government protests and student riots, it demonstrates what can happen when four highly intuitive and accomplished musicians, fired by Black Nationalism and dreams of liberation and with an array of diverse instruments at their disposal, allow their inspiration free rein.

“The tracks on ‘A Jackson in Your House’ challenge us to view music in a different light - as a source of enlightenment, rather than mere entertainment, and also wonderment born of togetherness, courage, beauty and surprise, mixed with terrifying honesty”. John Masouri

Original 1969 album remastered from the BYG master tapes.
High definition digital audio 96kHz 24bit wav.

You'd think that the statement "this is the work of amazing musicians playing together" should apply to everything that I choose to listen to, but I still feel the need to emphasize it here. Four songs, 17-21 minutes each, and every moment is alive with intensity, filled with atmosphere, shrouded with energy that pulls you forward even in the most repetitive or simplistic moments. Travel is dramatic, in the calmest, coolest way, and it is very good. rvss.eel
