O’s Notes: Janice is a talented Chicago-based contemporary jazz artist with spoken word, vocals and flute as her featured elements. Vanishing Points is her latest release, a collection of eclectic free flowing music performed solo, in duos and quartet. Misurell-Mitchell’s compositions are intriguing capturing the listener’s imagination and then pushing it to the edge. The large cast embraces the material and delivers a memorable message. The performance has symphonic elements in many of the movements that will appeal to that audience. We suspect the live performance to be most enticing.
