Anthony Braxton Quintet (London) 2004: Live at the Royal Festival Hall
by John Eyles
This concert was the undisputed high point of the 2004 London Jazz Festival. Braxton, appearing in the UK for the first time in years (decades?) played the first half of a double bill (the second half featured Cecil Taylor) and effortlessly stole the show. I was one of the 2,000-strong audience who cheered the quintet after ...
Braxton/Szabados/Tarasov: TrioTone
by AAJ Staff
By Ken Waxman Perhaps Anthony Braxton's most uncommon yet satisfying CD of the past decade, TrioTone is memorable because the American saxophonist functions as part of an improvising trio rather than promulgating his own ideas. Recorded on a busman's holiday to Serbia-Montenegro in 2003, the disc features Braxton operating as one-third of ...
Anthony Braxton: 20 Standards
by Christian Carey
By reputation, saxophonist Anthony Braxton may be most closely associated with the avant garde, but he is also firmly steeped in traditional jazz, and he has recorded a fair bit of it as well. 20 Standards (Quartet) 2003 is a four-CD set of live performances of standards in a quartet setting; Braxton is joined by guitarist ...
Anthony Braxton: Charlie Parker Project & Shadow Company
by Ty Cumbie
Bespectacled, tweedy, bristling with intelligence, one could easily mistake him for a professor from some obscure, brainy university (which would be correct), of science or mathematics or philosophy (actually music, though he has an impressive command of those other fields). Anthony Braxton, the musician, is renowned primarily for three traits: fearless experimentation, mountainous technique and a ...
Anthony Braxton/Matt Bauder: 2 + 2 Compositions
by John Kelman
Having the opportunity to watch woodwind multi-instrumentalist/composer Anthony Braxton perform one of his compositions in concert provides a distinct insight into just how directed his pieces--which sometimes give more of an impression of random activity when experienced on record--really are. Looking at one of them on paper can be even more revealing. While standard notation may ...
Anthony Braxton/Andrew Cyrille: Duo Palindrome Vol 1 & 2
by Rex Butters
After meeting in Paris in 1969, Anthony Braxton and Andrew Cyrille didn't record together until Hat Art released Braxton's Lennie Tristano project in 1988. While a duo project had been discussed, it wasn't until 2002 that it was realized. Now, spread over two CDs, Intakt releases the results of those sessions. Original compositions, spontaneous improvisations, and ...
Anthony Braxton: 23 Standards
by Rex Butters
Anthony Braxton 23 Standards Leo Records 2004 Anthony Braxton returns with a 4-disc set that resumes where 2001's 8 Standards left off. 23 Standards features the same quartet as the previous release, again touring the archives of jazz and popular song composition to come up with a refreshing and varied ...
Wadada Leo Smith/Anthony Braxton: Saturn, Conjunct the Grand Canyon in a Warm Embrace
by Rex Butters
Following last year's warmly received duet recording of Anthony Braxton and Wadada Leo Smith, Organic Resonance , Pi Recordings releases Saturn, Conjunct the Grand Canyon in a Sweet Embrace. Like the previous recording, this disc basks in the intimacy of two old friends' conversations. Both AACM charter members, both thought quite mad by self-appointed jazz guardians, ...
