Reviews By Kevin Whitehead http://www.wonderingsound.co...chells-black-earth-ensemble/ Of the third-generation Chicago vanguardists who came up in the 1990s, the breakout star has been flutist and composer Nicole Mitchell, as of this writing the AACM's co-president. She can write thorny and complicated charts (as on her Xenogenesis Suite) but her long-running Black Earth Ensemble has a gratifying populist side too: she writes catchy tunes with springy rhythms and singalong chants. There is an air of positivity about 2007's Black Unstoppable that never turns treacly; the lyrics show a certain dry wit, and the octet-ish band never pulls a punch. Tenor saxist David Boykin, trumpeter David Young, bassist Josh Abrams and guitarist Jeff Parker aid the big push, solo or in support. But Mitchell can't help but command your primary attention, if only because so few flutists can match James Newton's former student for sweetly piercing tone and cartwheeling, acrobatic lines coupled with her knack for appealing spontaneous melody. -- By Michael G.
