Coming Home Jamaica is a 1998 album by the Art Ensemble of Chicago originally released on the Atlantic label and reissued in 2002 on the Dreyfus label. It features performances by Lester Bowie, Roscoe Mitchell, Malachi Favors Maghostut and Don Moye with Bahnamous Lee Bowie guesting on one track. The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell states that "the whole album seems to have a relaxed, carefree, even at times lackadaisical feeling... this AEC working holiday is not going to push many envelopes".[2]
