Nicole Mitchell Recommendations?

[felser]

Received her 'Aquarius' CD in a trade with another board member,  and love it.  Was not familiar with her prior to this.  What else do I need to hear by her, and what else has she done with that "Ice Crystal" group?  Thanks.

I have enjoyed many of Mitchell's recordings and live performances. The two recordings by her ensemble Sonic Projections (David Boykin, Craig Taborn, Chad Taylor) on RogueArt - Emerald Hills and The Secret Escapades of Velvet Anderson - are easily recommended, as is the recent Artifacts, which is actually a cooperative recording with Tomeka Reid and Mike Reed. I also really like the Indigo Trio ensemble with Harrison Bankhead and Hamid Drake.
