The music of Roscoe Mitchell, served up here in a really amazing setting – all solo vibes, handled by
Jason Adasiewicz, in a style that's very different than Roscoe's original versions of these tunes! If you've ever heard
Adasiewicz solo, you'll already dig what's going on here – work on vibes that's deeply resonant, warmly chromatic, and full of some of the most human, honest, open expressions we've ever heard on the instrument!
Jason's always been part of the avant underground in Chicago, but he's also a very spiritual player too – a quality that really comes out in a setting like this – as he unlocks very different currents in tunes that Mitchell originally presented on his own albums, or with the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. The whole thing is wonderfully hypnotic throughout – and titles include "Congliptious", "Old", "Carefree", "The Waltz", "Toro/
Jo Jar", "The Key", "A Jackson In Your House", and "Daddy Rollin Stone".
