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.
