Description

LP – Limited Edition 180g Black Vinyl Reissue Housed In A Gatefold Sleeve

A Jackson in Your House is the first of the Art Ensemble of Chicagos renowned trio of albums for BYG’s Actuel series.This album is The Art Ensembles 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
