  4. Thanks Riccardo. The encore is Dave Holland's composition "See Saw" from the "Conference of the Birds" album.

  8. This is Braxton's greatest quartet. There can never be enough 1970's Braxton in one's collection! Many thanks, riccardo, I look forward to listening. Do you happen to have his Arista/Freedom recording "The Complete Braxton"? A near perfect recording IMO.
