Hamid Drake is one of the best living drummers in the world, period.Check him out live! It does not matter who he is performing with, but this one of the best groups that I have heard him be a part of.Nicole Mitchell is incredible!
@GatameOne - it is like an extended cadenza. She starts out emphasizing the sound of the flute with indian bansuri type sounds. She plays a few different types of harmonic movements that indicate moods (blues) or parts of a form (turnaround/modulation patterns). The style of the solo would be rubato improvisation with some extended techniques, leading to an Afro-Cuban groove. Hopefully that is helpful categorizing the sounds a little.
This is good playing but I saw her last night and it was the single most amazing performance I have ever witnessed. She has traveled to a level of identification and mastery of her craft that defies language.
Exquisite playing. She's a truly unique (and I use this word judiciously, btw) artist. Brava, Nicole.
