Anthony Braxton: Trio & Quintet (Town Hall) 1972
1972_jr.jpg)
by Troy Collins
Time has an ability to obscure certain details of the past. This notion is apparent when considering the multi-decade oeuvre of visionary composer Anthony Braxton, whose restructuralist Tri-Axium Theory is as unique as Ornette Coleman's Harmolodic Theory or Cecil Taylor's Unit Structures.
