▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In the waning days of the 1993 tour, and the soon ▓▌
▓████▓▌ after disbanding of his finest ù and longest ▓▌
▓████▓▌ standing ù band, this single concert of the seven ▓▌
▓████▓▌ nights played at Santa Cruz. This double CD ▓▌
▓████▓▌ documents with a finality just what the quartet had ▓▌
▓████▓▌ achieved in its eight years together. Braxton had ▓▌
▓████▓▌ realized within this group of musicians a goal he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ had previously thought unattainable: the ability to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ interchange any composition from any of his periods ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with any other ù and within each other ù in a small ▓▌
▓████▓▌ group setting. And given the far-reaching musical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tenets each of these "sets of compositions" notated ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by tracks are, that is no mean feat. The first set ▓▌
▓████▓▌ takes the now legendary "159" and adds to it the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rhythm section improvisation from "30," and the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ piano saxophone duet from "108a." Braxton and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Crispell herald in "150," trading phrases and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ polytones as Dresser and Hemingway shift around ▓▌
▓████▓▌ trying to locate the two soloists in the framework ▓▌
▓████▓▌ they are playing. When they are heard and are given ▓▌
▓████▓▌ free passage into "30," they alight before moving ▓▌
▓████▓▌ each other into a counterpoint system that begs the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ re-entrance of Braxton and Crispell, who slip ▓▌
▓████▓▌ through the knots, "make it jazz," and hand it back ▓▌
▓████▓▌ through "108a" before Hemingway and Dresser take it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ out. And this goes like this throughout. Even where ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Braxton's designs are carried out within one ▓▌
▓████▓▌ composition, such as on "69f" or "161" or "172," ▓▌
▓████▓▌ where the new Ghost Trances ù pursued by a sextet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ after this group split ù period begins, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fluidity and harmonic languages created within the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ context of four musicians speaking through one ▓▌
▓████▓▌ another is ever present. For those who don't find ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mr. Braxton's music "jazz" enough, or make it "too ▓▌
▓████▓▌ cerebral" in theory, the fact of the matter is, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ you're not listening. Find your way through ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Crispell's interaction with Dresser on "161" or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hemingway's with Braxton's flute on "40 (o)," and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ you will hear, in keeping with both the linear ▓▌
▓████▓▌ nature of jazz since the '60s and its more ▓▌
▓████▓▌ design-oriented functionality since the '80s ù ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which Braxton ushered in almost single-handedly for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ other improvisers ù the abstractions are obscured ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by the lyrical interplay coming from the bandstand. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ This is music projected from inside out toward an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ audience that doesn't have to think so much as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ emote what they hear. Braxton's systems are large ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and varied; the sheer psychic and physical energy ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the band has to endure in order to play this music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is almost unimaginable. To listen and think this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quickly is not mere communication ù it is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ telepathy. This is the quartet's farewell, and it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is more than fitting; it's astonishing what they ▓▌
▓████▓▌ achieved in eight years. On the second CD's closer, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "124+108c+147," you hear Crispell slinking through ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hemingway's rimshots on "124" to solo with him as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Braxton repeats a phrase that Dresser harmonically ▓▌
▓████▓▌ echoes in a trancelike fashion before exploding ▓▌
▓████▓▌ into "108c," where Braxton takes the lead and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Crispell is shouting out long lines and tonal ▓▌
▓████▓▌ clusters to Hemingway like she's another drummer. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Dresser takes these fragments and creates a series ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of chords for Braxton to improvise on the soprano ▓▌
▓████▓▌ before heading wildly into "147," one of this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ band's signature pieces. Here, all four members are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ given the opportunity to take the theme and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ deconstruct any or all of its parts within the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ safety of Braxton's harmonic system of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ improvisational intervals. That they all come near ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to each other before stopping on a dime should be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ no surprise ù though it does leave one breathless ù ▓▌
▓████▓▌ given the preceding wonder of the entire set. What ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a fitting finish for a truly legendary band ▓▌
