Thanks so much for your courteous response. I'm not saying the playing is better. Bird, Adderley, Gordon, Rollins - their technique and musicianship is awesome too, for what they do. I'm just saying Roscoe Mitchell's playing is on a whole different level that mainstream jazz saxophonists, as fantastic as they are and as much as I enjoy listening to them, can't or don't want to reach. Open your mind dude, and let the Ornette Colemans, Henry Threadgills, and Roscoe Mitchells flow in.

composition? really now?
can this composition be found on any release of his? or is it a fresh improv? his circular breathing technique is phenomenal

@oldlampsfornew It's fresh, but a concept that RM has been working with for a long time. A good place to hear it in a group setting is "The Flow of Things" (Black saint, 1987)
