Barring unforeseen circumstances, August 2015 will see the release of nessa ncd-37.
Around the first of this year I learned Roscoe Mitchell would be playing a concert in celebration of our good friend Fred Anderson. Sensing this might be something special and using my close relationship with Roscoe, I asked him if I could have the event recorded (on my dime). He agreed and we have decided to issue the concert on cd.
