5.0 out of 5 stars A great recording by great guys
I just wanted to say that The AACM stand for: Association for the Advancement of Creative (and not colored) Musicians. Anyway this records is for all those who love freejazz and particularly the late Fred Hopkins on bass.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good parts
"Live Air" is made up of two shows. The first two songs are from a loft performance in 1976, and the second two songs are from a live show in 1977. There is some good stuff on this disc, particularily in the shorter songs. Unfortunately, the opener ("Eulogy For Charles Clarke") is too abstract for me, and gets the album off on the wrong foot. I recommend this for fans...

There is some good stuff on this disc, particularily in the shorter songs. Unfortunately, the opener ("Eulogy For Charles Clarke") is too abstract for me, and gets the album off on the wrong foot. I recommend this for fans of the freer style of jazz -- people coming at this disc from Henry Threadgill's more recent tautly coiled music may be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for the correction, March 1, 2005
This review is from: Live Air (Audio CD)
I'm not sure why Mr. Weidenbaum/Amazon would not check his/their facts before putting finger to keyboard. My father, Steve McCall, was a founding member of the AACM and would not have laughed at this distortion as I did.
