[microsound] Anthony Braxton

[Randal Davis <randal_davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glad to see interest on the list in the great music of Anthony Braxton.

Of particular interest to microsounders might be his collaborations with Richard Teitelbaum - Time Zones, Open Aspects, and Live at Merkin Hall.  Braxton, as usual, on a variety of reeds, Teitelbaum doing live electronics (Moog modular and, more recently, a very innovative computer controlled setup.

Time Zones is available as a nice Black Lion reissue, combined with Silence, an early trio session with Leroy Jenkins and Leo Smith.  Also, there is a great duet with Teitelbaum on New York, Fall 1974 which is a great intro - a number of different ensembles and contexts. 

Graham Lock's Forces In Motion is a very good, though now somewhat out of date, introduction to his life and works.
