Title: Roscoe and friends continue to amaze
Review: If you've heard Roscoe Mitchell's recent 3-CD set, you'll get an idea of Live at Iridium. Not sure why the Boston Phoenix referred to a "troubled reunion," as everything they've done in the 21st century has been equal to their best work, though the successive deaths of Lester Bowie and Malachi Favors sure are troubling. But the new double-disc catches a fuller band and exciting band, with performances that may not be as diverse as the range in [sirius calling], but are surely some of most vibrant of late.
