Synopsis

Amazon.com's Best of 1999

An album of graceful intimacy fleshed out by the understated power of jazz's most profound, resourceful innovators, Nine to Get Ready is not just a showcase for Art Ensemble vet Mitchell, it's a tour de grace from a brilliant ensemble pushed to create beauty on a restrained, delicate scale. A challengingly modern yet exquisitely refined set of modern jazz. --S. Duda

True, its not for everyone: THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT GREAT, not

Il Dottore | Buffalo, NY | 05/05/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I don't know why someone would give this album two stars and then say "I'm just a casual jazz fan who doesn't like this"! Then WHY bother reviewing it? I have been listening to jazz, free-jazz, avant-garde , and free impov for over ten years now, and I can tell you that this album is a trues classic that would fit into all of those categories. It is one of roscoe's masterpieces, and it is a great place to start if you interested either in free-jazz of the 90's or Roscoe Mitchell's work. The mood and tone on the album range from delicate and meditative to free-wheeling and chaotic. It's not unobtrusive. Some of it very demanding, some of it even violent and disturbing. But overall Roscoe's amazing feat was to capture the spontaneity and choas (even in the very quiet tunes somehow) of this amazing double quartet--two drums, two basses, two pianos, two horn--on this recording. Some of it comes out in flawless compositions, such as Leola *possibly the best free-jazz composition in to date), and sometimes in the freeflowing jams, as in Hip, hop, bip, burr, rip. This album takes the orginal free-jazz experiment of Ornette Coleman, later taken up briefly by Coletrane, to new levels of possibilities, and it is one of the only examples of this daring musical approach. HIGHLY recommended. This is one of the gems in my free-jazz collection. Admittedly, this is not for fans of smooth jazz or mainstream jazz, this is for the open minded."
