Anthony Braxton Quintet - Live in Milan '77
"At this point, speaking of Braxton and his music is difficult: he's an
artist exposed to all sorts of influences, very receptive, but also with
enormous intelligence and integrity, that always put him in a much
more critical perspective towards those influences.
His music reflects all this, there is no hint of complacency on one side
and there is no time to be ironic on the present on the other side.
The past, especially bebop, is perhaps an essential part of his inspiration.
The analyticity of Braxton's interpretations is a stimulus that is
difficult to escape." G.Dalla Bona - Musica Jazz July 1977

Thanks a bunch. I've followed Braxton throughout his career but I am partial to his work in the '70s. Can't wait to hear it!

I agree with anon; 70's Braxton has an exciting edge to it. Many thanks.
