Synopsis

Product Description
On the 47 compositions included, you'll hear Braxton on everything from flute and soprano saxophone to contrabass clarinet. His fellow musicians include many innovators in the New Music and Third Stream movements at the time, such as Kenny Wheeler, Leroy Jenkins, Dave Holland, Jerome Cooper, Barry Altschul, Cecil Bridgewater, George Lewis, Leo Smith, Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Frederic Rzewski, Ursula Oppens, Karl Berger, Henry Threadgill, and electronic instrumentalist Richard Teitelbaum.

Our signature booklet includes an historical essay on Braxton's musical development and a track by track analysis of the recordings by trombonist/composer Mike Heffley, a former Braxton student and author of The Music Of Anthony Braxton (Greenwood Press); an accurate and detailed discography of the sessions; a reminiscence by original producer Michael Cuscuna and many photographs from the recording dates.

We appreciate the patience of the many interested Braxton enthusiasts who have been clamoring for this release. If you are new to his music, we urge you to become one of them.
