The Art Ensemble Of Chicago And Associated Ensembles [21 CD]

This is a 21-CD limited edition box issued as both ECM and these standard bearers of Great Black Music prepare to celebrate their 50th anniversaries. Gathering their ECM recordings with all of Bowie's and Mitchell's subsequent titles for the label, this beautifully-designed box set incorporates a 250-page book reprising all original album covers, liner notes and poetry, as well as quotes from Art Ensemble members and the press, new texts, photographs, archival documents, and more.
