Happy Birthday to the great Roscoe Mitchell—the Avant-garde legend whose pioneering saxophone has defied gravity, musical conventions, and surely confused a few unsuspecting jazz fans along the way. Whether weaving complexities with The Art Ensemble of Chicago or relentlessly reshaping sonic landscapes, your notes are always one step ahead—leaving both critics and audiences dazzled.Your recent performances remind us all that innovation never sleeps—and neither does your urge to push musical boundaries. At this point, we're convinced you secretly developed a new jazz language that only you speak fluently. Keep those experimental notes coming—happy birthday!
