Anthony Braxton
Friday, April 20, 2007
In the late 1960s, Anthony Braxton first turned heads with solo saxophone performances and recordings. Four decades and one "genius grant" later, the composer and teacher is still one of the most radical musical thinkers alive. He joins us to talk about his "ghost trance music" series, most recently documented in a boxed set of live performances at New York's Iridium nightclub in 2006. He calls the 9-disc set "the point of definition in my work thus far."
