5.0 out of 5 stars Chicago jazz at its best 22 Sep 2010
By BlackIslander
Format:Audio CD
Recently saw Nicole play at an open air concert in Chicago with the Black Earth Ensemble. I hadn't heard this musician before but was blown away with her performance. This album is a great record of this group of musicians led by Nicole and reminds me of Roland Kirk at times. Well worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Compositions 31 Jan 2008
By R. Gaither - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This amazing album is a mix of tight, yet exploring compositions from a gifted composer and flutist. The compositions are well structured, but allow soloists free exploration and expression. Ms. Mitchell is co-president of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and was voted #1 in Downbeat magazine's critic's poll for "Rising Star Flutist 2006 and 2007. There is certainly the influence of Charles Mingus various outfits here, as well as free jazz improvisation particularly in saxophonist David Boykin's interpretations. Each composition is well structured. The rhythm section is situated in straight-ahead tempos. Surprising tempo changes balance recognizable melodies and the result is a kind of edgy tension that keeps listeners involved and well. . .thrilled. The ensemble consists of David Boykin, saxophone; David Young, trumpet, Jeff Parker, guitar; Tomeka Reid, cello; Josh Abrams, bass; Marcus Evans, drums; Ugochi, vocals. I highly recommend this album, which is sure to be a classic! Delmark struck gold here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sort of an updated, accessible version of a 1972 Archie Shepp CD 5 Oct 2008
By Anthony Cooper - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The first few notes of "Cause And Effect" will have you thinking you're back in the 1970's. You've got funky jazz with a flute taking the lead. Much like Rob Mazurek's "We Are All From Somewhere Else" (featuring Nicole Mitchell), the combination of a warm sound and flute gives a retro vibe. Ms. Mitchell heeds the lessons of the past to keep this CD quite good, though. This CD has three basic song types. Songs like "Cause And Effect" are funky instrumentals. The band gets a good groove, though it's never trite. There are good solo improvs and group improvs. "Sun Cycles" is one of the free songs. The pulse is weaker, and like many quieter free songs you have to turn it up and play close attention to get the most out it. Lastly, vocalist Ugochi Nwaogwugwu sings on three songs. "Love Has No Boundaries" is a duet with trumpeter David Young. Ugochi has a great voice, with a lot of range, and its contrasted with Young's bluesier voice. According to a DVD review, Nicole Mitchell is singing backup on the other two songs. The lyrics wouldn't be out of place in the 70's, adding to the retro feel of the CD.

Though it has a retro vibe, this CD should appeal to anyone who likes funky jazz. There are definitely modern elements, especially in Jeff Parker's guitar-playing. That, and high quality of the writing and playing ensure this CD is no simple exercise in nostalgia.
