Avant-garde jazz legend Roscoe Mitchell to perform classic work

Tonight at 8pm at Benaroya Hall.
200 University Street, Seattle.
Tickets will be available at door.

from The Seattle Times:

Saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell, 72, is a legend in the world of avant-garde jazz, having held down one of the two reed chairs in the Art Ensemble of Chicago for more than three decades. A rationally severe formalist with an unadorned sound on alto saxophone that plunges straight to the gut, Mitchell is also known for dizzyingly transcendent spins into interstellar space on soprano sax. His concert in Seattle celebrates his piece “Nonaah,” which began as a melodic line in a 1973 AEC album, was eventually headlined on Mitchell’s brilliant, groundbreaking 1977 album of the same name and has continued to undergo transformations.

This performance features Mitchell in a world premiere of a new arrangement of “Nonaah” for the group Lawson, part of the Seattle new music collective Table & Chairs. The group Bad Luck also presents a new work based on the melodic themes of “Nonaah.” Other arrangements of the piece will be presented, as well.

8 p.m. Friday at Nordstrom Recital Hall, Benaroya Hall, 200 University St., Seattle; $20-$30 (www.tableandchairsmusic.com). Preconcert talk and Q&A at 7:15 p.m.

THE ROYAL ROOM: Music for the Baroness
Featuring Dawn Clement, Ryan Burns, Josh Rawlings, Wayne Horvitz and Tim Kennedy.

The Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter was an iconoclast and created a one of a kind narrative in the history of jazz. Born into the Rothschild dynasty in 1913, the Baroness (known to the jazz world simply as Nica) left her husband (a high level French diplomat) and alienated much of her family along with their vast resources to move to New York City shortly after a life changing listening of Thelonious Monk’s “Round Midnight”.  She became a great supporter of Jazz musicians and is remembered by many for taxiing musicians around in her Rolls Royce and hosting late night jam sessions (much to her neighbors chagrin). However, publically she is probably best known for the death of Charlie Parker in her 5th avenue apartment in 1955, made infamous by the NYC press.
