Born in Maryland in 1941, Bowie grew up in St Louis at a time when musicians were still coming up from New Orleans. He played first in local rhythm- and-blues bands led by Little Milton and Albert King, both soon to become famous. He also worked with some of the young musicians in the city who, like him, were destined for fame. They included the saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman and the drummer Jack DeJohnette. Bowie moved to Chicago in 1965, where he met Fontella Bass and became her musical director.


The same year, the pianist Muhal Richard Abrams formed the AACM as a jazz workshop and Bowie joined him. Their first recordings in 1967 show a group of unknown but very advanced musicians in completely spontaneous but expert and intoxicating improvisations. From this point on Bowie and his friends were no strangers to odd instrumentation. He played trumpet and flugelhorn but also anything exotic that seized his fancy, like bass drum or the mysterious cowhorn. Logs, bells, sirens, gongs, whistles and a zither also found their way into the armoury.


The band, finding no outlet at home, moved to France in 1968 and the following year recorded the LP A Jackson in Your House. Typically, the piece begins with a dignified and pompous overture which is punctured by the laughter of the band before it rocks into a Dixieland ensemble complete with clarinet and then into an approximation of the swing style. Although the music is unusually and intentionally funny, the direct social criticism of A Message to Our Folks done a couple of months later is much more serious. The two albums perhaps typified Bowie's weakness for slapstick and the way it occasionally diluted his more serious messages.


In 1969 ACM was founded with a completely new vision of jazz. On stage, the band imitated the street bands of South America, recited poetry and used a variety of unlikely sound effects as they played both avant-garde and more conventional jazz.

Soul singer who achieved national fame recording for
Chicago’s Chess Records during the 1960s. She was
the daughter of notable gospel singer Martha Bass (a
member of the Clara Ward Singers and a soloist of
some note). In 1961, Fontella was discovered by St.
Louis bandleader Oliver Sain, who brought her into
his organization to play piano. Little Milton was the
band’s initial vocalist, and Bass participated on several
sides that Milton recorded for the local Bobbin label.
She subsequently recorded four sides under her own
name for Bobbin. In 1963, after Little Milton left the
Sain band, Bass and singer Bernard Mosley became
the featured vocalists. Mosley was soon replaced by
Bobby McClure. The following year Chess Records
signed Bass and McClure to record for its Checker
subsidiary in Chicago. They debuted as a duet act,
coming out with two hits, ‘‘Don’t Mess Up a Good
Thing’’ and ‘‘You’ll Miss Me (When I’m Gone)’’ in
1965. Bass launched her solo career in 1965 with a huge
hit, ‘‘Rescue Me.’’ The flip featured an outstanding
gospel-blues ballad, ‘‘The Soul of a Man.’’ Bass’s
career at Chess was gradually dissipated by a series
of undistinguished but three commercially successful
follow-ups, ‘‘Recovery,’’ ‘‘I Surrender,’’ and ‘‘Safe and
Sound.’’
Bass left Chess in 1967, and recorded for Jerry
Butler’s Fountain Productions, then moved to Stan
Lewis’s Paula label, recording under the production
aegis of her old bandleader, Oliver Sain, and then for
Epic. Bass never had another hit record. Occasionally
she appeared as a vocalist on jazz albums recorded by
her husband, Lester Bowie, trumpeter in the famed
Art Ensemble of Chicago.
