Every time I listen to Roscoe Mitchell I am reminded that I don't listen to him enough! Of course, that's true for many artists I listen to. Still, this one's one of my favorites: marches, funk, abstract sound, free bop, and as always: Mitchell's sometime acerbic, always gut-bucket/free/powerful playing. He's definitely one of my all-time favorite saxophonists.
For Roscoe, try recently-released "Conversations I" on Wide Hive. There is a second part out, have not heard that, but the "1" is marvelous. Of course, there is plenty of Roscoe out there, not to mention AEC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I've been reading about that release; I'll be sure to check it out. There -is- plenty of Roscoe out there. About three years ago I did my chronological listening thing with all my Art Ensemble recordings, and it was great fun. I plan on going through all my Roscoe discs soon, maybe after Miles.
