Anthony Braxton and Evan Parker in duet



We have posted these two gentlemen before, solo, in duos or in smaller and larger constellations, though not together, so about time then.

This was recorded on 2 June 1994 at the Weiler Concert Hall, Greenwich House Music School, New York, NY.

4 tracks in all, 43.15 minutes

Anthony Braxton (reeds)
Evan Parker (Tenor & ss)

With two such distinct players, it's always a treat to hear how they work in tandem and to these ears they mesh very well, covering the spectrum from quiet introspection to shrieks in the upper register and staccato stabs in the air, and as with good improvisors, always with a keen ear to what the other is doing.

So in other words, enjoy!

Great stuff -- they do work together really well. It reminds me of the trio album with Paul Rutherford, which has a lot of melodic interplay -- this one and the duo on Leo Records both seem to be available for download from Lulu.com, pretty cheap.

Seems like both those guys were at the very height of their creative powers in the mid-90s, even if----if!----it was a time of refinement and personal boundary-pushing for both of them. Thx kinabalu!
