This is a beautiful little film. It really evokes the wonderful, healing feeling I had when I first saw them live. Thank you.

The original Art Ensemble typically rehearsed for about 8 hours a day. Drummer Famadou Don Moye related that to me years ago. Even the all percussion segments are rehearsed compositions. How they describe/labeled their music is as GREAT BLACK MUSIC--ANCIENT AND TO THE FUTURE. That covers a lot of idiomatic ground wdnt you say? With them I'd say the ratio is 60% composed to 40% improvised at any given section. Course like Wayne Shorter said improv is composition sped up. and vice versa.
