Perspectives from an AACM member[edit]

There are a number of interesting references to "loft jazz" in A power stronger than itself: the AACM and American experimental music by George Lewis, second-generation AACM member and Director of Jazz Studies at Columbia University. Muhal Richard Abrams is quoted as saying that he stopped going into lofts when the term became current. Music in lofts is contrasted with the white experimental music scene which got more coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larrykoen (talk • contribs) 03:00, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
