Anthony Braxton
Live At The Rainbow Gallery '79
Album CY 2016 on Hi Hat label
Jazz
Anthony Braxton live at the Rainbow Gallery, Minneapolis in September 1987.(?) Having made his name as one of America’s most uncompromising and prolific jazz modernists, by the late 70s Chicago-born saxophonist-composer Anthony Braxton had long since abandoned attempts to categorize his work, preferring it simply to be termed ‘creative music’. Combining elements of minimalism, free jazz and modern classical with virtuoso technique and fiery intensity, he worked solo and with bands and orchestras throughout the 1970s. This superb set was broadcast on KBEM-FM at the end of the decade, and is presented here with background notes and images. The correct recording date may be 1976. In 1979 Braxton played with the quartet Braxton-Anderson-Lindberg-Barker
