Personnel: Roscoe Mitchell (soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Anthony Braxton (soprano saxophone); Henry Threadgill, Wallace McMillan, Joseph Jarman (alto saxophone); George Lewis (trombone); Muhal Richard Abrams (piano). Liner Note Author: Terry Martin. Recording information: Sound Studios Inc (08/23/1976-02/22/1977). Alto saxophonist (and multi-instrumentalist) Roscoe Mitchell is a founding member of the seminal avant-garde jazz band Art Ensemble of Chicago, but he's maintained a parallel solo career. Originally issued in 1977, NONAAH is one of his finest and most uncompromising albums. While most tracks feature Mitchell's solo sax unaccompanied, there are also a few trio pieces as well as a saxophone quartet. This album features fierce timbres and dynamic, near minimalist-type repetition, most of it played with a harrowing intensity. Somewhere in the stratosphere, between John Coltrane and John Cage, thrives NONAAH. (The reissue features bonus tracks.)
