ROCK.A.RAMA
ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO—Nice Guys (ECM):: The Ensemble continues to alternately pay homage to and extend various forms of black music maintaining their base, of free form improvisation, humor and evocative arrangements. The amount of imagination and emotional commitment displayed, as well as the consistency with which their propensity for risktaking results in cohesive musical statements, makes for superior entertainment.
