Anthony Braxton

Having dug through about five boxes of easy listening records at a Chelsea street sale, I came across this 1977 document of not-so-easy-listening by the great American avant-garde sax and clarinetist, Anthony Braxton. Part of what makes this recording so special is that it displays a moment in the free style, and in Braxton’s career, where the playing is more apparently influenced by bubbling, sparkling electronic sounds indicative of the era.
