Founded in 1965 and still active today, the Association for the
Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) is an American institution with
an international reputation. George E. Lewis, who joined the collective
as a teenager in 1971, establishes the full importance and vitality of
the AACM with this communal history, written with a symphonic sweep that
draws on a cross-generational chorus of voices and a rich collection of
rare images.
Moving from Chicago to New York to Paris, and from founding member Steve McCall’s kitchen table to Carnegie Hall,
A Power Stronger Than Itself uncovers a vibrant, multicultural universe and brings to light a major piece of the history of avant-garde music and art.
