As the legendary Art Ensemble of Chicago celebrates information technology'southward 50th anniversary, Soul Jazz Records are releasing a new fully re-mastered edition of the grouping's seminal album 'Les Stances a Sophie' (1970), which features the great singer Fontella Bass on the opening rails 'Theme de Yoyo', a stunning 9-min opus that continues to startle and compel new audiences today.

Drawing upon the mutual soul and funk background of Bass so husband Lester Bowie with all the power of the Art Ensemble of Chicago's commonage musicianship on board, 'Theme de Yoyo' is powerfully funky, soulful and free at the same fourth dimension, a archetype fusion of blackness music styles.

The Art Ensemble explored many areas of popular black music during their career. For instances their 'Aboriginal to the Futurity: Tribute to the Masters' album covered songs by artists such as James Brown, Fela Kuti and Jimi Hendrix. This however, remains a pinnacle moment in their exploration of black dance music.

The Art Ensemble of Chicago, are one of the most important and radical jazz groups to come out of the USA. 'Les Stances a Sophie' was recorded in Paris in 1970 and features the regular Art Ensemble members (Lester Bowie, Joseph Jarman, Roscoe Mitchell and Malachi Flavors) alongside newly recruited drummer Don Moye and guest Fontella Bass on vocals and piano.

Fontella Bass already had a successful career as a soul singer - 'Rescue Me' was her biggest hit in the sixties. She and Lester Bowie first met in St Louis while working with legendary rhythm and blues producer Oliver Sain. Vocals (and lyrics), alongside a constant drum and bass beat, were new elements to the music of the Fine art Ensemble at this time.

Musicians such as Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, spearheaded the free jazz movement at the start of the 1960s. Far from simply defining a musical concept, they as well began to redefine the concept of the African-American musician in society. A new flow of self-respect and spirituality amongst musicians paralleled the Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King and Malcolm 10 - encouraging self-determination and empowerment in every African-American musician.

The Association for the Advocacy of Creative Musicians (AACM) was formed in Chicago in 1965 by Muhal Richard Abrams with members - including future Art Ensemble of Chicago members Bowie, Jarman, Mitchell and Flavors - as well as others including Anthony Braxton and Amina Claudine Myers. The AACM explored experimental music and began promoting concerts, didactics music, Black history and offering spiritual guidance to youngsters in the Chicago community.

Out of this The Art Ensemble was formed in 1968 and in June 1969 the grouping headed for French republic. "Les Stances A Sophie" was originally released on EMI France in 1970 and after in the US on Nessa Records. Soul Jazz Records first released the anthology in 2000. Now ten years out of print, they and are releasing it once more in this new fully re-mastered edition.

'Les Stances A Sophie' came about when the director of the Israeli moving-picture show director Moshe Misrahi befriended the grouping and asked them to record a soundtrack to a (and so unmade) French New Wave film of the same name. During a 2-yr menstruation in French republic the group recorded an astonishing amount of music – over fifteen albums recorded for various labels such as BYG, Freedom, Nessa, Arista and EMI before returning to America in 1971 to continue their journeying.

The Fine art Ensemble of Chicago'due south musical soundtrack 'Les Stances A Sophie' remains perhaps the definitive release from this period, a stunning exploration of radical jazz music, and with with the rare add-on of vocalist Fontella Bass on 'Theme De Yoyo' an unashamedly powerful commemoration of Great Blackness Music - ancient to the future.
