The Alternate Express

The Art Ensemble Of Chicago

Recorded for DIW Records, the sessions show a unit focusing their energy into a tighter, soulful drive. They balance complex improvisation with a pulse that feels both grounded and infectious.

Decades of chemistry are evident in the way the ensemble approaches these songs. The music proves that their unconventional roots can support rhythmic grooves, resulting in a cohesive work from their later years.
