Live Jazz at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago Embodies ‘The Freedom Principle' Exhibit

In conjunction with the exhibit The Freedom Principle: Experiments in Art and Music, 1965 to Now, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago is presenting an impressive lineup of jazz performances, premieres and multimedia events.

The Freedom Principle is a large-scale group exhibition that links the avant-garde jazz and experimental music of the late 1960s--particularly within the African-American arts scene on the South Side of Chicago--and its continuing influence on contemporary art and culture today.

The exhibition also features works by artists belonging to the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), a collective of Chicago musicians who expanded the boundaries of jazz.
