Duo (Improv) 2017, by Anthony Braxton Eugene Chadbourne

Duo (Improv) 2017

by Anthony Braxton Eugene Chadbourne

supported by

Lars Gotrich An 8-disc (!) box set that pairs Anthony Braxton with another radical of American music, Eugene Chadbourne. Their dynamic remains one of mutual respect, deep listening and conversation, but also a lot of humor. Favorite track: Improv Two.

Mit Datsrok I finished listening to all 8 of the CDs. As a long-time fan of both Mister Braxton and Mister Chadbourne, I expected to enjoy their collaboration. However, the improvisations were even better than I expected. I get the distinct feeling that they both gave it their best and that they enjoyed playing together. The material will bear repeated listening. Congratulations to the pair!

steve slivka what a gift this is! two of my absolute heroes, together.

Beautifully immersive sound experience. Not familiar enough with the mechanics of ZIM and the liner notes are pretty oblique about those but ample on the poetics and the humor (yes!) of this music. A high water mark for Braxton's music. Mr. Edison

Superb. What seems an implausible combination of instruments is in fact a great showcase for AB's sinuous saxophones. JK's harp sounds like a particularly rich guitar and her playing is virtuosic. Personally I think Anthony Braxton is at his best in these more intimate settings. This will likely be on my top ten list at end of year. arbitify
