No Side Effects

Higher and higher! Each time we think Roscoe Mitchell has reached the top, he comes back with another groundbreaking recording and this new opus is no exception to the rule. Thanks to three perfectly balanced and complementary musicians, Roscoe Mitchell finds all necessary space to spread his genius. Bringing all necessary understanding and vigour to his music, Harrison Bankhead on bass and Vincent Davis on drums take this recording to the top. Like he gets us used to, Roscoe Mitchell has improvisation and composition intimately cohabit with perfect control. They don't come up against each other but complement one another with spontaneity, sophistication, smoothness, conviction and flickness. No Side Effects is the best possible evidence Roscoe Mitchell still has a lot to say and will keep on surprising us.
