Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Tribute To Lester

Review by Sameen Hassan

The Art Ensemble of Chicago's Tribute to Lester is a masterful tribute to the legendary jazz saxophonist Lester Bowie. The album is a collection of tracks that showcase the group's unique blend of avant-garde jazz, free improvisation, and world music influences.

From the opening track, "Zero," the listener is transported into a world of musical experimentation and exploration. The Art Ensemble's use of unconventional instrumentation, including percussion, horns, and strings, creates a sound that is both otherworldly and deeply rooted in the jazz tradition.

The album's standout track, "Theme for Lester," is a beautiful tribute to Bowie's legacy. The piece features a haunting melody played by the ensemble's horn section, interspersed with moments of frenzied improvisation.

Throughout the album, the Art Ensemble's musicianship is on full display. Each member of the group is given ample opportunity to shine, with standout performances by Roscoe Mitchell on saxophone and percussionist Famoudou Don Moye.
