Songs of the legendary jazz great are featured. From Wikipedia: 'Roscoe Mitchell (b. August 3, 1940 in Chicago, Illinois) is an African-American composer, jazz instrumentalist and educator, mostly known for being "a technically superb — if idiosyncratic — saxophonist." He has been called "one of the key figures" in avant-garde jazz who has been "at the forefront of modern music" for the past thirty years. He continues "to be a major figure."[1] He has even been called a "super musician" and the New York Times has mentioned that he "qualifies as an iconoclast."'
