An avant-garde jazz ensemble that grew out of Chicago in the late 1960s, the Art Ensemble of Chicago is notable for its integration of soulful and chaotic musical styles that span jazz's entire history, helping to redefine what jazz music could be and continue to seek out its future. AEC's cornerstone 1969 album, Tutankhamun features performances by Lester Bowie, Joseph Jarman, Roscoe Mitchell and Malachi Favors Maghostut.

Previously out of print for over three decades, Tutankhamun has been remastered for vinyl at Infrasonic Mastering and pressed on audiophile-grade vinyl at Pallas in Germany. As a bonus, the reissue features "Tthinitthedalen" Parts 1 and 2, closing out sides A and B, respectively
