Beth Wexler
Beth Wexler plays with temporal transformations of popular culture. Sampling from 80s and 90s television, the artist manipulates imagery that is fading into obsolescence to create new meaning. Her time based pieces add a humanizing touch of spectacle to previously over scripted narratives. Her generative works are systems that provoke the way that we digest media.

Art Ensemble of Chicago
Here is a funky jazz gem from Art Ensemble Of Chicago titled “Funky AECO“. This track represents one of the more funkier songs written by the group, who is usually more know for their avant-garde free jazz compositions. The funky groove oriented track was included on the group’s 1985 album The Third Decade , which was released by ECM Records. The album features founding members Lester Bowie, Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Famoudou Don Moye, and Malachi Favors who is responsible for the tracks heavy bass groove. Overall, the track represents a different side to one of jazz music’s most notable and accomplished avant-garde ensembles.
