Roscoe Mitchell 25 Piece Orchestra Returns with an Outstanding Follow up to its 2017 release 'Discussions.'

Recorded March 19th and 20th 2018 in the Littlefield Auditorium, Mills College, where Roscoe has held the chair of composition, once held by esteem composer Darius Milhaud, for over a decade.

Mitchell has employed some of the most talented minds from all over the globe to produce precise, note-for-note transcriptions of the complex material improvised by the trio.
