The first-wave artists comprising the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) encompassed the breadth of what would later become the organization’s motto: “Great Black Music, From the Ancient to the Future” The groundbreaking initiative of self-determining musicians was born in 1960s Chicago, and its early members constituted a vital nexus of musically and geographically diverse histories and futures.
