Roscoe Mitchell and Muhal Richard Abrams have been at the forefront of contemporary music for over thirty years. In 1966, Mitchell's sextet became the first AACM group to record. The resulting album, Sound (Delmark Records), signaled a new, post-Ornette era in jazz and improvised music. Mitchell is also a founding member (along with Lester Bowie, Joseph Jarman and Malachi Favors Maghostut) of the critically-acclaimed Art Ensemble of Chicago. Richard Abrams is a co-founder of the AACM and current President of the New York City Chapter. In 1961, he formed the Experimental Band, effectively the AACM's birthplace. An enormous influence in jazz and improvised music, he has collaborated with greats such as Max Roach, Dexter Gordon, Clifford Jordan and the Kronos Quartet, among many others.
