Braxton and compatriots split the difference between free improv and chamber music
-
We Say...
In the 1970s Anthony Braxton became the Chicago new wave's breakout star, landing a contract with the major label Arista in 1974. That fall he also cut this double feature in Toronto. The first half is a slow processional for trio, with Braxton on clarinet and contrabass clarinets, his longtime playing partner Leo Smith on trumpets and flugelhorn and new ally Richard Teitelbaum rustling and blurping on Moog synthesizer. They steer an agreeable middle course between free improvisation and carefully plotted chamber music; it's stately and rambunctious at once. The second half finds Braxton on alto sax alongside his regular bass player at the time, the uncannily precise Dave Holland, for a mostly merry romp on three jazz standards. For all his outcast tendencies, Braxton has always honored the jazz masters and the music they play, and this is one of his most successful outings "in the tradition," buoyed by one of jazz's best bassists.
