520    This year marks the golden anniversary of the Art Ensemble
       of Chicago, the flagship band of the Association for the 
       Advancement of Creative Musicians. Formed in 1966 and 
       flourishing until 2010, the Art Ensemble distinguished 
       itself by its unique performance practices-- members 
       played hundreds of instruments on stage, recited poetry, 
       performed theatrical sketches, and wore face paint, masks,
       lab coats, and traditional African and Asian dress. The 
       group, which built a global audience and toured across six
       continents, presented their work as experimental 
       performance art, in opposition to the jazz industry?s 
       traditionalist aesthetics. In Message to Our Folks, Paul 
       Steinbeck combines musical analysis and historical inquiry
       to give us the definitive study of the Art Ensemble. In 
       the book, he proposes a new theory of group improvisation 
       that explains how the band members were able to improvise 
       together in so many different styles while also drawing on
       an extensive repertoire of notated compositions. Steinbeck
       examines the multimedia dimensions of the Art Ensemble's 
       performances and the ways in which their distinctive model
       of social relations kept the group performing together for
       four decades. Message to Our Folks is a striking and 
       valuable contribution to our understanding of one of the 
       world's premier musical groups
