Album Notes & Community Reviews

Highlighting two spectacular 1975 European festival performances, this release pairs Braxton's quartet with the incredibly influential rhythm section of Dave Holland and Barry Altschul. Showcasing intense conceptual agility, the group seamlessly deconstructs traditional jazz forms by integrating rigorous contemporary classical structures into their sprawling free-improvisations.
