Anthony Braxton
Born:
To his list of achievements and awards, Anthony Braxton may now add the 1994 MacArthur Fellowship: the so-called "genius" grant of (in his case) $300,000, awarded to individuals nominated for outstanding and original contributions to their field. The timing of this crowning achievement couldn't be better for Braxton's most recent professional goals: he is the founding Artistic Director of the newly incorporated Tri-Centric Foundation, Inc., a New York-based not-for-profit corporation including an ensemble of some 38 musicians, four to eight vocalists, and computer-graphic video artists assembled to perform his compositions. The ensemble's debut at New York's The Kitchen sold out the last and most of the first two of three nights, through the press excitement it generated; the reviews—in Down Beat and the Chicago Tribune (John Corbett), the Village Voice (Kevin Whitehead), and the New York Times (Jon Pareles)—ranged from positive to ecstatic. Most importantly, the musical success of the event inspired Braxton to pursue the "three-day and -night" program concept for this ensemble, including lectures/informances, and splinter chamber performances, around the world. The second New York event, indeed, expanded on the concept: The Knitting Factory presented six nights of Anthony Braxton and his music, in all the variety of its vision

Anthony Braxton Saxophone Quartet: Sax QT (Lorraine) 2022
by Alberto Bazzurro
A mezzo secolo esatto dal suo primo esperimento in materia, la “Composition 23A" (rombo-30-EGN-KBM-78, secondo la connotazione grafica tipica delle pagine braxtoniane dell'epoca, che qui non possiamo per ovvi motivi riprodurre nella sua completezza) datata fra il 27 settembre e il 16 ottobre 1974 e riunita poi con altre cinque di diversa natura in New York, ...

Anthony Braxton: Solo Bern 1984 First Visit
by Alberto Bazzurro
A quarant'anni esatti dalla sua esecuzione (per l'esattezza il 7 luglio 1984), ecco arrivare questo live svizzero, di ottima fattura sotto il profilo dell'incisione (non è sempre stato così, nei molti inediti braxtoniani spuntati fuori come funghi nel corso degli anni), nonché largamente esaustivo dei procedimenti messi in atto in concerto dal grande musicista chicagoano (anche ...
