Muhal Richard Abrams

Musician

Muhal Richard Abrams (1930–2017) was an American composer and pianist, a founder and early leader of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), and a key figure in avant-garde jazz.

Elected president of the AACM in 1965; leader on the 1967 album Levels and Degrees of Light. Born September 19, 1930; died October 29, 2017.

DeBaser carries one detailed review (by BorisGodunov) of Muhal Richard Abrams's 1967 album Levels and Degrees of Light. The review highlights Abrams's role in the AACM, early appearances by Anthony Braxton, and the album's adventurous free-jazz textures. Strong recommendation for listeners of freer, wilder jazz.

For:Listeners of avant-garde and free jazz; followers of AACM and experimental composition.

 Someone who, in 1965, was elected president of the AACM and therefore couldn't have been that much of a fool.
