FWIW, if Braxton is playing the instrument in the picture: that's a contrabass saxophone, not a contrabass clarinet. I've played cb clarinet and it's a cool instrument (and I know that AB frequently plays one as on the Montreux double album); however, cb sax is altogether cooler. There are only a handful, maybe 20 to 30, in the entire world. I look forward to hearing this: it looks fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing.

Dear grgo62,
I am so grateful to your this upload. I had looked for this for long.
So, pls. just wirte your requests on "Request" corner of this blog. I will see them and upload what I have.
@ Davide Davidos
I know that it's "only" a contrabass-sax - I haven't found any picture of Braxton with a cbcl...
Concerning a request:
Maybe you have something from the clarinet player Hans Kumpf.
Or the LP from Kim Dae Hwan - "Huk Woo" ("Black Rain") or
"To whom it may concern" Allelopathy ALL-1. Two quartets including Evan Parker.
"Instant Demo"
Jabrec Korea with Choi Sun Bae
this is what comes to my mind for the moment.
Thank you.
i feel somewhat foolish as I cannot find the link...Help Me
I'm very grateful! Thanks!
many thanks, a nice piece of early Braxton I had on vinyl years ago; I particularly like track 4.
This is lovely !
Thank you Onxidlib.
Very cool set, with Japanese players I've never heard of but play very well. Nice rip, too!
Anyone out there have a decent scan of this cover?
I do, so I did a scan of the front and back of the platter and edited the post accordingly. Trust that's fine with you, onx?
Sure :)
Thank you Kinabalu!
Bought it shortly after it hit the local shop - '75 I believe. I haven't heard it in a decade or more but recall not finding it as exciting as many of his other records of the period. It will be nice to hear it again. Many thanks.

Ernst, thanks for putting this one back up.
A Braxton that I do not have, and have never heard.
What a thunderous trio. Three Maestros!!!!
