Nonaah

Nonaah

An expanded 2 CD reissue of saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell's most notorious recording outside of the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. <b>Nonaah</b> (No nay ah) earned him a <b>Record Of The Year</b> award in the 1978 Down Beat critics poll. The music consists of a 31 minute solo concert performance of the title piece, two duets (one with Anthony Braxton, the other with Malachi Favors), a trio piece with Muhal Richard Abrams and George Lewis, two more Mitchell solo pieces (one from a concert, the other a studio recording), and a 17-1/2 minute version of the title piece with four alto saxophonists (Mitchell, Henry Threadgill, Joseph Jarman and Wallace McMillan).
