i only have his 1st duo concert with derek bailey and his album with wolf eyes. both are excellent but i prefer the former, because derek bailey is the best

Toilet & Bowels · 04.21.2008, 03:27 PM

that wolf eyes record is great, the only other recording i've heard from are the mp3s on this page, which are very, very good.

All I own and have ever heard from him is a record that is titled by some sort of geometric sketch or symbol or something. Pretty awesome stuff, very avant garde with some real moments of beauty. I definitely don't get a weird for the sake of weird vibe.

i have a few things already but its always good to ask i think and get another perspective. the stuff i have is amazing.

best to break braxton down by decade, as a multi instrumentalist and taste makes, his style changed a lot through his career, while always remaining avant garde to the bone:

60's:
three composition for new jazz
for alto

70s:
circle

aris concert
in the tradition volumes 1 and 2
five pieces
for four orchestras

80's:
for two pianos
composition no 96
six duets
compositions no 113
six monk's compositions
eugene

90s:
charlie parker project
9 standards
knitting factory volume 2
silence/time zones

i mean, i obviously havnt heard all his stuff, his catalog is immense, even in for a free jazz artist. hes genius, but honestly im not a huge fan. you might like it though, especially if youre into really experimental music. some of his shit isnt really jazz, in fact if even be hard pressed to call him a jazz musician. anyways, just a brilliant avant garde composer, and check out whatever you can find.

i have four compositions (gtm) 2000 and it's fucking aceness.

i'm seeing him this saturday.

Toilet & Bowels · 04.25.2008, 07:42 PM

apparently he was the first jazz musician to record a true solo record, i.e. himself playing alone with no other musicians

Onani Nic · 04.25.2008, 10:20 PM

Yep, its called For Alto and is one of the best things I've ever heard. Like truely WHAT THE FUCK type stuff...

Saxophone Improvisation Series F is pretty damn good too.

Everyneurotic · 04.27.2008, 11:46 AM

i saw anthony braxton perform as the diamond curtain wall trio (with a guitarist and a cornet player) yesterday. man, it was amazing, skipping the line between free playing and jazz language with a computer making feedback tones in the back. fucking marvelous.

made me wonder why i don't listen to free jazz more often.
