Mitchell, Roscoe
The Solo Concert
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

New, Unplayed Out Of Print 2011 Reissue Of The Rare Solo Performances Recorded In 1973 And 1974. Didn't Have Traditional Shrink Wrap. “Roscoe Mitchell Is A Founding Member Of The Art Ensemble Of Chicago And Has Only Had Occasional Dates As A Leader Through The Years. This Is One Of His Most Rewarding Although Listeners Accustomed To Full Rhythm Sections And Conventional Swinging Might Find This One Hard To Get Into. Mitchell Proves To Be A Brilliant Architect Of Sound, Frequently Building Up A Simple Idea To Unimagined Heights Of Complexity. Performing On Soprano, Alto, Tenor And Bass Saxophones At The Three Festivals At Which This Music Is Taken From, Roscoe Mitchell Demonstrates Why He Is Considered One Of The Masters Of Avant-Garde Jazz.” Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
