Anthony Braxton: Ninetet (Yoshi's) 1997: Volume 4

Read "Ninetet (Yoshi's) 1997: Volume 4" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Quello in esame è il quarto doppio CD che documenta la settimana di permanenza al leggendario Yoshi's, di Oakland in California, della formazione di nove elementi con la quale Anthony Braxton sviluppò ai massimi livelli il concetto di Ghost Trance Music [per leggere la recensione del Volume 3 clicca qui]. Sei fiati, una chitarra un contrabbasso e percussioni varie costituiscono una forza d’urto tremenda che nella mente e nelle mani di Braxton si trasforma in una formidabile possibilità di creazione ...

Anthony Braxton: Solo Willisau

Read "Solo Willisau" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Proviamo a fare un gioco. Immaginiamo di essere ignoranti (nel senso di ignorare, non conoscere) sull’autore di questa incisione, e ascoltiamola con cuore aperto e mente sgombra. Alla fine dell’ascolto ci abbandoniamo a qualche riflessione e ci accorgiamo che il tizio in questione ha una stupefacente padronanza dello strumento con il quale si relaziona in una sorta di osmosi fisica, tattile. Che il tizio in questione se ne fa un baffo di concetti come ritmo, melodia, tonalità ma si lancia ...

Anthony Braxton: Ninetet (Yoshi's) 1997 Volume 4

Read "Ninetet (Yoshi's) 1997 Volume 4" reviewed by John Eyles


Recorded over five days in August 1997 at Yoshi's in Oakland, California this recording is from the early phase of reed player/composer Anthony Braxton's Ghost Trance Music (GTM) period. Originally planned to be released as a 12-CD box set on Braxton's own (now dormant) Braxton House label, these ninetet recordings have instead slowly emerged, two discs at a time, on Leo.

Given that the climax of the GTM period, the 2006 Iridium club 12+1tet recordings, came out all at once ...

Max Roach & Anthony Braxton: One In Two, Two In One

Max Roach & Anthony Braxton One In Two, Two In One Hatology 2004

Revisiting the legacy of the drummer Max Roach, who passed aged 83 in August 2007, one is reminded that his years of great music making were not confined to the birth of bop in the 1940s or its morph into hard bop in the 1950s. Alone among bop's founding fathers, Roach was still turning it out in ...

Anthony Braxton: Solo Willisau

Read "Solo Willisau" reviewed by Henry Smith


Nearly forty years after the release of his groundbreaking For Alto (Delmark, 1968), Anthony Braxton returns with yet another solo sax album, this time a concert recording, Solo Willisau. Feeding off of the 1,500 grateful attendees, Braxton does again what he has done for so long, breaking down musical walls with his distinguished meshing of intellect and soul.

Most remarkable about Braxton's solo work is its endless stream of ideas. The inherent intimacy of a solo ...

Anthony Braxton: Solo (Pisa) 1982

Read "Solo (Pisa) 1982" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La Leo Records prosegue nella pubblicazione di concerti solitari di Anthony Braxton: dopo Colonia e i due volumi milanesi è ora la volta di Pisa 1982, serata nella cui scaletta - esclusivamente al contralto - sedevano fianco a fianco composizioni del repertorio solitario del polistrumentista e una manciata di standards. Troviamo infatti brani come la “Composition 26c" o la “26g", che Braxton aveva già inciso in dischi storici come Saxophone Improvisations Series F, registrato a Parigi nel 1972 per la ...
