Review by Ryan Hodgson

The Roscoe Mitchell Quartet's self-titled album is a masterpiece of avant-garde jazz music. The quartet, consisting of Roscoe Mitchell, Muhal Richard Abrams, George Lewis, and Spencer Barefield, showcases their incredible musicianship and improvisational skills throughout the album.

The album features six tracks, each with its own unique sound and style. The opening track, "Cards for Quartet," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its free-flowing, experimental sound. The quartet's use of unconventional instruments, such as the bass saxophone and piccolo trumpet, adds to the album's avant-garde feel.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Chant," which features Mitchell's hauntingly beautiful saxophone playing. The track builds slowly, with each member of the quartet adding their own unique contribution to the sound.

Summary by Ryan Hodgson

the Roscoe Mitchell Quartet's self-titled album is a must-listen for any fan of avant-garde jazz music. The quartet's incredible musicianship and improvisational skills make for a truly unforgettable listening experience.
