Anybody here go to the Chicago Jazz Festival? Looks like Myra Melford was there. (If NU had started earlier, I might have gone there with my daughter, but the stupid quarter system!)

[bluenoter]

Walto---

You seem displeased.

Might you be able to get to New Haven on November 14?

Myra Melford's upcoming tour schedule

[walto]

Thanks, Rita, but that'd be hard. Working two jobs starting this week-- adding a visiting lecturer gig at Framingham State U. to my reg full time job as an insurance regulator. Anyhow, my irritation wasn't directed so at missing a Melford concert as at the cuckoo quarter system. It's a schedule that screws up nearly everything.

Roscoe Mitchell
Trios

Sun, Sep 27, 2015
FY16RoscoeMitchell



Sun, Sep 27, 3 and 7:30 pm



Presented as part of The Freedom Principle: Experiments in Art and Music, 1965 to Now

As both musician and composer, Mitchell is always the scientist, tirelessly experimenting with musical forms, textures, and instrumentation.
—BBC Music

In the midst of the historic events surrounding the 50th anniversary of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), I would like to highlight my explorations into new artistic territory, as represented by the series of trio projects that will be showcased.
—Roscoe Mitchell

This unprecedented project profiles composer and multi-instrumentalist Roscoe Mitchell in four different trios during two concerts, all within a single day. This one-time all-out event features a powerhouse of inventive musicians drawn from Roscoe’s varied musical adventures who represent a dynamic range of musical styles. Roscoe is composing for the following four trios:

Roscoe Mitchell on woodwinds
Hugh Ragin on trumpets
Tyshawn Sorey on drums, piano, and trombone

Roscoe Mitchell on woodwinds
Craig Taborn on piano and electronics
Kikanju Baku on drums

Roscoe Mitchell on woodwinds
James Fei on woodwinds and electronics
William Winant on percussion

Roscoe Mitchell on woodwinds
Jaribu Shahid on bass
Tani Tabbal on drums

The first two groups are featured in the afternoon concert and the second two in the evening concert. In addition to the two featured trios per concert, Roscoe is composing for extended combinations so that all nine musicians appear in each concert—providing the extraordinary compositional palette of two pianos, four percussion, four horns, two electronics, and bass.

This Roscoe Mitchell project is presented as part of The Freedom Principle: Experiments in Art and Music, 1965 to Now—a large-scale exhibition with related concerts and talks that explore great black music and the spirit of experimentation from 1965 to the present. The project is rooted in jazz but is about a broader subset of art and culture.

In addition to the Trios concerts, Roscoe Mitchell is showing paintings, a range of his invented instruments, and a stage installation of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. He is also represented by archival photographs and referenced in artworks by others, like Rashid Johnson’s large mixed-media sculpture Roscoe’s Target (2014). Mitchell is leading workshops, as well as a public talk with music writer, producer, and curator John Corbett (See MCA Talks)

Re the previous post:

It's good to "see you," Uli, and thank you! (Next time, if possible, we can has links, please? )

The 2015 Englewood fest info. was too late for JT's Jazz Fests forum, but I posted the info. about the Roscoe Mitchell Trios concerts (and other events) in JT's Jazz News forum, here.

P.S.---

Roscoe Mitchell on woodwinds
Jaribu Shahid on bass
Tani Tabbal on drums

A few years ago, I heard Jaribu Shahid play in a David Murray group in DC. He was mingling afterwards, so I told him that I'd really enjoyed his playing but hadn't caught his name. Oy! He spoke very softly, and suffice it to say that it's a good thing he seemed to be a laid-back, patient guy.
