I intend to pick up Tribute to Lester, The Meeting or Sirius Calling tomorrow at Borders. I don't have any of their older material (I'm picking from the above three because that's all Borders has), and I'm wondering which of these recent discs I should get first. I do intend to get the Nessa box and other older material eventually, but for now all I have to choose from are the above. Recommendations?

Why buy only what Borders has chosen to stock? Screw Borders.

Buy the older stuff NOW and then buy the newer stuff, if you're (still) so inclined.

I asked for recommendations for the AEC a while back here.

To summarize, start early and work your way up.

In my opinion, your first purchases should be People In Sorrow/Les Stances A Sophie, Fanfare For The Warriors, Bap-Tizum, Reese And The Smooth Ones and A Jackson in Your House. If you get one of those and enjoy it grab the Nessa box. It is essential listening for fans of the AEC. Chuck did a great job putting the set together and it is limited, and will be out of print at some point in the near future.

Enjoy exploring the world of the Art Ensemble! You have some very rewarding and very fun listening ahead of you.

My wife is going to the store next to Borders tomorrow, so I thought while she's in there I'd go in and get a CD

Thanks-as usual, too lazy to do a search myself

I tend to agree with the other posters - get the earlier recordings first and grab the Nessa box before it's out of print.

But - which of the three you listed did you buy?

well, actually, I didn't buy anything- I happened to see that they had the Live in Paris 2-disc set from 1969, so I'm going back Tuesday to buy that-and once I can convince my wife that I NEED to get the box set, then I'm going to get that too

That's a great performance.

I've never heard this one. I'll have to grab a copy.
