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 McCallrsquo;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.

Of some interest if you like Long Island; like the Vanderbilts; or like car travel (first limited access highway in the Americas.)3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great book; a little piece of LI historyBy Ray ZatorskiHaving grown up on long Island; the fragments of stories about the LI Motor Parkway - or as the locals called it the Vanderbilt Parkway -were fascinating but how could anyone build his own road? The history and photos explain everything and provide sources to find out more. I can now verify; or in some cases; disprove the stories and urban myths about this piece or LI history.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. history in my own backyardBy Frank ScottySince moving into Levittown;N.Y. recently; Ive discovered for myself the remains of the parkway close to where I live.
