CD (Item 467288) Hat Hut, 1979 — Condition: New Copy

An extended performance by the Anthony Braxton Quartet – but one that's made up of a number of shorter abstract compositions! The music here is presented in one long take – featuring Braxton on a variety of reeds, plus Ray Anderson on trombone and "little instruments", John Lindberg on bass, and Thurman Barker on percussion and gongs – and the compositions include numbers 69C, 69E, 69G, 69F, 40F, 23G, and 40I – all represented by those weird little drawings that Braxton used to represent his music! There's a relatively free feeling to most of the playing here, but not totally unstructured – and all members of the group add in equal elements to the sound – shifting their modes of playing and even instrumentation, a bit in the classic AACM style!  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
