Happy birthday to the great Anthony Braxton who was born on this day in 1945. Inspired by John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen as much as John Coltrane and Charlie Parker, Braxton has crafted an immense body of highly complex work. His work examines core principles of improvisation, structural navigation and ritual engagement – innovation, spirituality, and intellectual investigation. In his compositions, Braxton draws on a wide array of musical traditions, most notably American jazz and European contemporary classical music. He has performed in the United States and Europe with traditional jazz musicians, free-jazz players of all types, electronic and contemporary classical composers, and African and South Indian classical musicians, and may be heard on more than 100 recordings. Braxton identifies as a “trans-idiomatic” composer and has repeatedly opposed the idea of a rigid dichotomy between improvisation and composition. He has written extensively about the “language music” system that forms the basis for his work and developed a philosophy of “world creativity” in his Tri-Axium Writings. His works included For Two Pianos (1982); Creative Orchestra Music 1976, a major album of big jazz band scores; For Four Orchestras (1978), involving 160 musicians and four conductors; a series of operas titled Trilium; and works for chamber settings, for 100 tubas, and for four amplified shovels and a coal pile. Throughout his career Braxton developed different musical systems, notably Ghost Trance Music, which he described as “melody that doesn’t end.” In the 1990s Braxton also performed as a pianist. He continued to tour into the 21st century. Here, he is performing “Impressions” with Chick Corea on piano, Miroslav Vitous on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums live in 1981.
