AN ISOLENT NOISE 2009 /
CHICAGO EDITION
The 2009 edition of An Insolent Noise, as it's made clear by the
subtitle dedicated to the Illinois metropolis, is focused on the
meeting between the Association for the Advancement of Creative
Musicians (AACM) of Chicago and the young Italian musical collectives
from the jazz/improvised music field. Founded in 1965 by a nucleus
including Muhal Richard Abrams and Donald Rafael Garrett, AACM became
in time a global beacon not only for its music – to mention but a few,
among its members we find Art Ensemble of Chicago, Leo Smith, Anthony
Braxton, Henry Threadgill and George Lewis – but also for its crucial
concept of community service, based on education of young musicians, on
collaboration with local schools, and on interaction between artists of
different disciplines. Inspired by the AACM model simila associations
of musicians were born all over Europe, and today in Italy as well we
have groups that try to take back tha control on their music, promoting
it especially with an intense use of the nets and of the new
technologies.
AACM will be featured in four concerts:
the solo performance of flutist extraordinaire Nicole Mitchell, tenor
saxophonist Fred Anderson Trio, Quazar 1 led by Douglas Ewart and the
Great Black Music Ensemble, 13 strong official AACM ensemble, in an
original production dedicated to Fred Anderson, an institution of
Chicago's creative music whose 80th birthday we celebrate in 2009.
