Roscoe Mitchell is always interesting and worth a listen.
He's underappreciated... nice to see him getting some love, Unsung-style!



Thanks Redfish. You might also find this interesting. Got this from the Nels Cline mailing list recently. A Kickstarter project (not come across this before) for a concert that is taking place in honour of Roscoe Mitchell. (Nels Cline does the pitch).

'Roscoe’s trio with percussionist William Winant and woodwind player James Fei will perform a new piece that Roscoe has written for the occasion. In addition, percussionist Alex Cline will lead an all-star ensemble in a special performance of Roscoe’s landmark composition People in Sorrow, featuring eleven distinguished musicians including saxophonist Oliver Lake, vocalist Dwight Trible, pianist Myra Melford, harpist Zeena Parkins, and bassist Mark Dresser'.

Obviously no way I could attend the concert but it looks an interesting way of funding projects like this. One of the pledges gets you the CD of the evening when its recorded.
