American flautist Nicole Mitchell tours UK with Mark Sanders and Neil Charles

‘The most important jazz flautist of her generation. Mitchell proves herself an innovative composer, magnanimous band leader and compelling soloist.’ —Troy Collins, AllAboutJazz

Nicole Mitchell is a brilliant flautist, bandleader and educator.  Her music celebrates African American culture by integrating jazz and improvised music with other genres, notably gospel, African percussion and blues, and draws on ideas of Afro-futurism.  In her most active ensembles, Black Earth Ensemble and Black Earth SWAY she creates music of a unique and distinctive character.

Nicole has also played key roles in music education; she is currently Professor of Music at Virginia University having previously taught at the universities of California Irvine and Pittsburgh. She was the first woman president of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) in Chicago.

Nicole really enjoys playing in small groups with friends, and in the last few years she has developed a very strong relationship with Mark Sanders, a leading improvising drummer and percussionist, working as a duo at European festivals and clubs. She describes the experience of playing with Mark as ‘exquisite'. They will be joined on this tour by bass player Neil Charles whose Dark Days project celebrating the work of James Baldwin shows his affinity with Nicole's approach to music.
