Friday night at  Poncho Hall, Cornish College, the  Earshot Jazz Festival presented Nicole Mitchell and her Ice Crystal Quartet.
Nicole Mitchell, “the most important jazz flutist of her generation” (All About Jazz), plays in the spirit of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians: she draws gospel, African percussion, and other elements into a thrilling extension of jazz. Jason Adasiewicz (vibes), Joshua Abrams (bass) and Frank Rosaly (drums) join her at the PONCHO Concert Hall.

Founder of the critically acclaimed Black Earth Ensemble and Black Earth Strings, Mitchell is a composer whose works reach across sound worlds to create a fascinating synthesis of postmodern jazz. She has performed with creative luminaries such as George Lewis, Miya Masaoka, Lori Freedman and James Newton, and has also worked on projects with Anthony Braxton, Ed Wilkerson, David Boykin and Rob Mazurek.
