The first of The Art Ensemble of Chicago's renowned trio of albums for BYG's Actuel series now returns in a deluxe, audiophile edition    This album is the Art Ensemble's most celebrated release, capturing the American avant-garde jazz collective at their most sensational, provocative, and startlingly original in a historic June 1969 session at Studio Saravah in Paris.

The tracks on A Jackson in Your House challenge us to view music in a different light-not just as a source of entertainment, but as enlightenment, wonderment born of togetherness, courage, beauty, and surprise, all mixed with terrifying honesty.","brand":"BYG","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":46130000003306,"sku":"5060767449653","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4411191-3337860.jpg?v=1783457631","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/message-to-our-folks-1","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
