ROSCOE MITCHELL - THE SOLO CONCERT (LP)

Roscoe Mitchell The Solo Concert on LP

Originally released on Sackville recordings in 1974 as The Roscoe Mitchell Solo Saxophone Concerts, this historical reissue has been remastered and contains the same material as the original, which consists of primarily solo concerts, with Roscoe playing soprano, alto, tenor and bass saxophones, from Montreal, Michigan and Pori, Finland recorded in 1973-1974.

The release captures Roscoe Mitchell in a very important period in his development as a musician, exploring his own solo voice again after a very productive period with the Art Ensemble of Chicago. It beautifully displays his virtuosity and range on the different horns in the saxophone family, and many of the melodies he explores here were expanded on in his later works.
