Nicole Mitchell /Black Earth Ensemble - 2005 12th Guelph Jazz Fest ( not in CD ).Wonderful live of one of the great flute


Nicole Mitchell & Black Earth Ensemble 

12th Guelph Jazz Festival, St George’s Church, Mitchell Hall

Guelph, Ontario, Canada; September 9, 2005. 








Very good audience recording.Anthony Braxton had once described Nicole Mitchell as “the greatest flute player I have ever heard, bar none.”Composer, flutist, and AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Music) Vice-President Nicole Mitchell leads this large ensemble, featuring some of the most exciting soloists from the new generation of Chicago jazz, through her eclectic, rhythmically exciting pieces. Her writing deftly integrates thumping percussion, Latin grooves, subtle string arrangements, tight ensemble passages, collective improvisation, and much more. As a soloist, Mitchell extends the range of her instrument by vocalizing in a manner reminiscent of the great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Underlying it all, her music, captured on Afrika Rising (Dreamtime), is invested with a spiritual conviction through which all of its sources - “avant garde,” popular or vernacular - are synthesized as means of musical expression. In the spirit of the great bands throughout the history of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, Nicole Mitchell & Black Earth Ensemble look beyond the dogmatic definition of musical style and convention in search of a more direct way by which to communicate with their audiences. - Programme Notes00:00 Cause And Effect 14:20 14:20 Untitled/Jam 2:24 16:44 Episodes Of An Obscure Life 9:59 26:43 Improvisation 8:45 35:28 Wondrous Birth 13:21 48:49 Take Refuge 11:10 59:59 Navigator 4:14
