Figures in American music don't come any bigger than Roscoe Mitchell.  The saxophonist was a founding member of the epochal Art Ensemble of Chicago, one of the best and most important bands in jazz history -- they always made sure to make their free jazz entertaining -- and also a founder of theAssociation for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, perhaps paradoxically an organized force for free jazz, responsible for untold quantities of great music over the years.  Here, Mitchell leads two different separately-ticketed programs of his fantastic compositions.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  It's not like you're spoiled for choice up around the Armory.  JoJo.
