In Pursuit of Magic is a live album by American jazz saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell with drummer Mike Reed which was recorded in 2013 and released on 482 Music.[1]

Reception

In his review for the Chicago Reader, Bill Meyer states, "Mitchell shifts adroitly between several saxophones and flutes, using Reed’s surging tempos, sensitive brushwork, and varying density of attack as a launching pad and backdrop for extraordinarily long, convoluted linear forays full of tension and surprise"[2]
