Moor Mother seems a very good fit, can't wait to hear the collaboration and the album as a whole

[Patrick]

Thanks for mentioning Moor Mother. I'm not familiar with her or her work. She and Roscoe are slated to perform a free concert on the Millennium Stage at Kennedy Center this Thursday, just prior to a show by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl. I don't know if Roscoe has any other performances lined up in DC area around this time.

Not familiar with her either, but this collaboration should be interesting. I'm in.

Check her out in Irreversible  Entanglements

I've not heard the Irreversible Entanglements record, but live they are serious business. 

I look forward to hearing the new Art Ensemble disc; was very enticed reading some of what Tomeka Reid had to say.

These Moor Mother cuts are no joke.

[mjazzg]

The record is great. Live was something else

Saw them at Big Ears. Blew the roof off of the Bijou Theatre!

Here is what was pitched as the US debut (following appearance at Berlin Jazz Festival) of the Roscoe Mitchell with Moor Mother duo. I'll freely admit to not being deeply familiar with the Roscoe cannon, but I'm not sure what to make of his contribution here. Interesting poetry/soundscape performance by MM but to me would have been more accurately billed as Moor Mother with Roscoe Mitchell. Millennium Stage

As both a professor of poetry and a fan of the AEC since 1974, I’m revulsed. Mother Moore is an inept poet whose recitations are trite and annoying. If this is the new path, i’m Gone. Roscoe is still sublime, but this shit?

my copy has shipped a few days ago, but I'll be on vacation from tomorrow, so I'll have to wait ...
