With "Made In Chicago", an exhilarating live album, Jack DeJohnette celebrates a reunion with old friends. In 1962, DeJohnette, Roscoe Mitchell and Henry Threadgill were all classmates at Wilson Junior College on Chicago’s Southside, pooling energies and enthusiasms in jam sessions. Shortly thereafter Jack joined Muhal Richard Abrams’ Experimental Band, and Roscoe and Henry soon followed him. When Abrams cofounded the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians in 1965, DeJohnette, Mitchell and Threadgill were all deeply involved, presenting concerts and contributing to each other’s work under the AACM umbrella. Jack brought them together again for a very special concert at Chicago’s Millennium Park in August 2013, completing the group with the addition of bassist/cellist Larry Gray. The concert recording - featuring compositions by Roscoe, Henry, Muhal and Jack, plus group improvising - was mixed by Manfred Eicher and Jack DeJohnette at New York’s Avatar Studio. "Made In Chicago" is issued as the AACM begins its 50th anniversary year.

Great, historic gathering of Chicago's best, the whole band are genius musicians!
That shot at 42 seconds says it all doesn't it? Human treasure, the enduring genius of the beating heart that is American music.
Some of my all-time-heroes :
Open your ears !
Wonderful video, thank you for posting it and Thank you Jack for all the music you are giving us
I attended a few sessions of the ACM around 1969-1970 when they played at the Hyde Park Art Center (53rd & Blackstone). It was quite an experience, especially Joseph Jarman.

See Larry Gray playing cello? He's also adept on guitar and piano. In lessons with him, back in the day, I never knew what instrument he would use to comp for me. A truly great musician.
Chricago?
Better than Philip Glass.
