...epehmeral, but the emergence of the Art Ensemble as a tangible force in jazz is in fact as much a culmination as beginning. The AEC has worked together for over fifteen years, and during that time they have released over 20 albums, as well as an equal number of records under individual Art Ensemble members' names. Great Black Music may have flourished in obscurity, but it flourished all the same; today's growing AEC audience enjoys a mature artistic form born in the early 60s through the innovations of The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), a Chicago...

The Government sent Grove City a letter calling it a "recipient" of federal aid, and requested school officials to sign a paper assuring the school's compliance with provisions of Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments (requiring equal opportunity for women). Grove City did not reply. It was not a "recipient" nor had it discriminated against women. Even so, because the college refused to fill out the HEW form, the Government has said it will view tuition aid funds granted to individual students at Grove City...
