Muhal Richard Abrams in Chicago

[Lazaro Vega]

Blurb from the Jazz Institute of Chicago:

Join us Thursday in Millennium Park for Legends and Lions with Muhal Richard

Abrams and Reginald Robinson!

Legend Muhal Richard Abrams is a world renowned composer and pianist

originally from Chicago, now residing in New York. He is one of the

creators and foremost practitioners of creative improvised music. As

performing musician, he has developed a highly respected command of a

variety of musical styles both as a pianist and composer. The versatile Mr.

Abrams and members of The Association for the Advancement of Creative

Musicians (AACM), of which he is co-founder, are responsible for some of the

most original new music approaches of the last two decades.

Reginald Robinson recently won the MacArthur Fellowship in recognition of

his brilliant and largely self-taught pianism. He is a young man writing

contemporary ragtime compositions that are completely authentic in form, yet

utterly contemporary and fresh to the ear. Launching a new direction in his

career, Robinson will feature his original compositions with the Fulcrum

Point Chamber Orchestra.
