The Music of Anthony Braxton (CD)
Steve Lehman - whom The New York Times has hailed as a "virtuoso alto saxophonist" and a "state-of-the-art musical thinker" - returns with a highly-anticipated new release with his long-running trio featuring bassist Matt Brewerand drummer Damion Reid, joined by special guest tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, one of the most influential jazz musicians of the past 30 years. On the self-evidently entitled The Music of Anthony Braxton, Lehman pays homage to one of his earliest mentors with a hard-swinging live album, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Braxton's birth. Lehman has built a career creating innovative, uncompromising music that packs a visceral punch. Recorded live in front of a boisterous crowd at ETA in Los Angeles, he brings a new perspective to Braxton's small group music by consciously working with musicians outside of the maestro's orbit. The fascinating juxtaposition of Lehman's searing, emotionally-charged playing with Turner's cool articulation, all backed by the nimble precision of Brewer and thrilling dexterity of Reid, is captured in an electrifying set that make a compelling case for the breadth of Braxton's creative output.
