Anthony Braxton is one of the most simultaneously admired and lambasted jazz musicians (saxes and clarinets) and composers to emerge in the early 1970's. He is also one of the most prolific. "News From The 70s" consists of recordings from Anthony Braxton's private archive made between 1972 and 1976, which is considered to be the early peak period of his career and features a fine array of sidemen, including: Barry Altschul, Dave Holland, George Lewis, and Kenny Wheeler.
Recorded live between 1972 & 1976. This rare collection of recordings from the 1970s features Braxton at the height of his power and makes an indispensable contribution to his discography. Personally selected by esteemed Italian musicologist Francesco Martinelli from long forgotten cassettes stored in the saxophonist's home, these six tracks were not released commercially until 1999. While the sound quality is mixed, the music is some of Braxton's best. There are two solo performances ("Composition 8G" and "Composition 8C"); three classic quartets ("Four Winds" with trombonist George Lewis, bassist Dave Holland, drummer Barry Altschul, and Braxton on sopranino, clarinet, and piccolo; "Composition 23E" and "Composition -2" with Kenny Wheeler on flugelhorn; and an impressive duo between Braxton on clarinet and Dave Holland on cello). Sparks fly throughout, as this collection enthralls with some of the best jazz of the era.
