Our Take

Roscoe Mitchell's latest offering, "Bells For The South Side," is a mesmerising journey through avant-garde jazz that will leave you questioning reality in the best way possible. Mitchell, a true pioneer in the genre, showcases his unparalleled skill on a variety of wind instruments, creating a cacophony of sound that is both chaotic and beautiful.

From the haunting melodies of "EP7849" to the frantic energy of "Panoply," Mitchell takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of emotions that is as unpredictable as it is exhilarating. The way he weaves together disparate musical elements is nothing short of genius, creating a sonic landscape that is at once dissonant and harmonious.

But what truly sets "Bells For The South Side" apart is Mitchell's ability to push the boundaries of traditional jazz. Tracks like "Rub" and "Panoply" showcase his willingness to experiment with different sounds and textures, creating a truly unique listening experience that is both challenging and rewarding.

In a world where so much music feels derivative and safe, Roscoe Mitchell continues to push the envelope and challenge our preconceived notions of what jazz can be. "Bells For The South Side" is a testament to his ongoing commitment to innovation and creativity, and a must-listen for any fan of adventurous music. So grab your headphones, sit back, and prepare to be blown away by this sonic masterpiece.
