Re: [microsound] Braxton and the Wolf



Hi all. A few more Braxton suggestions... the best Braxton I've heard is the music made in the mid 80s with the group featuring Marilyn Crispell on piano, Gerry Hemingway on bass and Mark Dresser on drums. The live album recorded in London in 1985, released on Leo Records, is really fantastic. The late 60s solo album For Alto is also very good. For Braxton working with improv people, the albums with Derek Bailey (on Victo) and Evan Parker (Leo again) are excellent. Braxton brought a young quintet to London in November and it was a very strong performance - there's clearly plenty still going on. There have also been lots of albums over the years devoted to his sideways takes on standards.
Best
Will
