It contains interpretations of tunes composed by Roscoe Mitchell, the multi-instrumentalist, conceptualist, composer, improviser and painter who was a charter member of the Association For The Advancement Of Creative Musicians and is the sole surviving founding member of the Art Ensemble Of Chicago.
