A New Frontier was released by Soul Note in 1983. [4] The AllMusic reviewer wrote that "This is intense solo piano that requires just as committed and concentrated an effort from the audience as the performer in order to appreciate and follow the direction." [2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz contrasted the pieces: "There is something slightly mechanistic about the playing on 'Night Circus' that makes one think of the player-piano pieces of Conlon Nancarrow, but this is eliminated on the remarkable 'Time for Intensity', a more richly coloured pair of contrasting pieces, the second of which, 'Webs and Whirlpools', is quite astonishing."

Roscoe Mitchell is an American composer, jazz instrumentalist, and educator, known for being "a technically superb – if idiosyncratic – saxophonist". The Penguin Guide to Jazz described him as "one of the key figures" in avant-garde jazz; All About Jazz stated in 2004 that he had been "at the forefront of modern music" for more than 35 years. Critic Jon Pareles in The New York Times has mentioned that Mitchell "qualifies as an iconoclast". In addition to his own work as a bandleader, Mitchell is known for cofounding the Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM).
