Trio (Glasgow) 2005
Anthony Braxton
A double CD recorded at the Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Art four days after the series of performances at Phonomanie VIII in Ulrichsberg, Austria (Leo Records CD LR 468/471). On the inside photo one can see Anthony Braxton playing bass saxophone. However, very unusually, Anthony only payed alto saxophone in Glasgow. His rare f-alto was stolen from the luggage on the trip from USA to Austria, and his baggage with his sopranino and soprano was lost on the way from Austria to Glasgow. It was delivered only after the performance. Such events could devastate any musician, but not Braxton. The members of his trio are Taylor Ho Bynum on cornet, flugelhorn and trumpbone, and Tom Crean on guitar.
