Celebrate musical experimentation with innovator, musician, and composer Roscoe Mitchell. After beginning his career in 1960s Chicago, Mitchell led a movement that experimented with alternatives to conventional jazz composition and improvisation and was a founding member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Mitchell's compositions range from modern to classical and from wild and forceful free jazz to ornate chamber music.
