Composition 367b

Anthony Braxton Quartet (Moscow) 2008

 

 

Performed in Moscow on June 29, 2008 with Anthony Braxton on sopranino, soprano, alto saxophone and contrabass clarinet, Taylor Ho Bynum on cornet, flugelhorn, piccolo and bass trumpets, Mary Halvorson on electric guitar and Katherine Young on bassoon, to the ecstatic Russian audience, this is one of the best Mr. Braxton performances ever both in terms of music and quality of recording. If it doesn’t become an all-time classic I shall swallow my tongue.
