Conversations I is an album by American jazz saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell, with pianist with Craig Taborn and drummer Kikanju Baku which was recorded in 2013 and released on Wide Hive.[1]

Reception

In his review for Something Else!, S. Victor Allen states, "Conversations I revels in its random, extemporaneous intonations, offering proof that ideas Roscoe Mitchell first put forth in the mid-60’s are nowhere near exhausted. It’s the kind of album that demands an encore, and wouldn’t you know there’s one coming: Conversations II"[2]
