Anthony Braxton: Trio and Quintet (Town Hall) 1972

June 6, 2011

If Anthony Braxton were to be judged on the basis of his oeuvre alone, he would stand completely apart from any modern composer, bar none. He has an enormous body of work, written for every conceivable permutation and combination of ensemble, from two to over a hundred and also for practically all the modern instruments known ...

August 4, 2009

The production of a music compilation or sampler may, despite its producers' best intentions, go either way. A fair representation of artists may result in excellent tracks, together with perhaps some indifferent ones, and there is simply no pleasing everybody. However, it is possible to get closer to the mark of overall excellence if the compilation ...
