 - bass\n\nBill McClellan - drums\n\n"...the saxophonist is aggressively ad
 venturous and most expressive...Mitcheltree evokes hearty tones from his i

 ting sound tapestries at any tempo."\nNancy Ann Lee\, Jazz Times\n\n"Mitch
 eltree's quartet is definitely hard-core NYC: tough sounding\, aggressive\
 , and complex. They swing hard\, even at midtempo\, as though all of them 
 were percussionists\, which infectiously pulls the listener into their com
 plex conversations."\nDave McElfresh\, Jazz Now\n\nTickets at Dennis Mitch
