Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Sirius Calling [CD]

This is the last recording featuring member Malachi Favors maghostut before his death on Jan. 30, 2004. SIRIUS CALLING was recorded in early 2003 upon Joseph Jarman's return to the band after a decade-long hiatus. "The Art Ensemble has endured as long as it has because of it's members' ability to support fully one another's often diverse musical impulses... one of the group's finest performances, played with a taut nobility and a collective rhythmic spring that seems as natural as breathing.
