AUDIO: Anthony Braxton (1986)
Mark Sinker, Rock's Backpages audio, 1986
Braxton talks about the difficulties that come with playing avant garde music; what he's interested in investigating; the struggle to find musicians he can work with; his interest in European musical traditions; playing solo, and in saxophone quartetes; how the jazz community is resistant to his ideas; his disinterest in technique; playing with Derek Bailey, and collective improvisation; how he sees music today, and his place in it.
