Braxton debuted as a small-group pianist during a week-long engagement at the
Knitting Factory in late 1994. This gargantuan two-disc set documents that
semi-auspicious occasion. The band is made up of solid downtown N.Y.C.
professionals -- Marty Ehrlich on saxes and clarinet, Joe Fonda on bass, and
Pheeroan Aklaff on drums; the repertoire comprised of several not-too-familiar
standards by Charles Mingus, Lennie Tristano, and Thelonious Monk, among others.
Braxtons pianistic style is much like his alto style. His rhythms are not even
subdivisions of the beat. Braxton treats the pulse as a fence on which to hang
the rhythms when he feels the urge, though hes just as likely to run alongside
it, or ignore its existence altogether; he treats the harmonies with a similar
bashful regard. His technique is that of an ingenious autodidact; he can
definitely play, in his own way, but the way he treats the music is almost too
personal. Theres not much here that relates to tradition, and this vein of jazz
is inextricably bound to tradition. This album is interesting in its way, but
better to hear Braxton perform his own compositions in his native tongue than
someone elses tunes in a borrowed language, even if he speaks that language in
such a colorful and discerning dialect. ~ Chris Kelsey
