I would love it if the Timbaland turnout beats Led Zeppelin. One of the reasons I grabbed them was because I knew I wouldn't have to beat the bushes for participants.

My favorite Braxton (out of his approximately 750,000 releases). tylerw, I started with this, and heard no other Braxton for years. No need to commit.

I must admit i'm surprised that we got over 15 votes as there didn't seem to be a lot of posts on the voting thread but in the end it turned out ok (had to badger shakey and wm a bit,but only cuz they forget)but it all turned out ok. The number of full ballots of 100 was exceptional. How many of those did we get seandalai?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
I'll get that number later when I'm at home.

I know who Braxton is, but yeah I've never dug in. guess I should. took me awhile to get around to Ornette too.

^^^ Love this album, especially the title track and "Portrait of Linda in Three Colors, All Black".
― dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Wednesday, 31 August 2011 19:16 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, it's great -- love "blind willie" too. barely think of this as a "jazz" album tbh.

portrait of linda is my favorite song of all time

For me it sits squarely in the Ayleresque line of ecstatic jazz.

I think all the Braxton I have is solo, so I am interested in hearing what he does in a group.

yeah, braxton scores i've seen are wild. braxton interviews are wild, too. one thing i liked of braxton's was a more recent thing of standards? fairly straightforward/paul desmond-y with blasts of free type moments. i don't know, i assume i'll get into him sooner or later, but just haven't yet.

Oh, Braxton on standards and other folks' compositions is sublime. Check out 8 (+3) Tristano Compositions, beautiful.

I know a little (very tiny) bit, but I have no idea how one is supposed to interpret those scores. I mean they LOOK cool, I just don't know what half the symbols/notations are supposed to represent

On a (slightly) more serious note, I do love those scores. See also Cardew's 'Treatise' (not jazz).
― emil.y, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 19:33 (twelve years ago) link
Shakey, I bet geir could understand them.
I hate how it says it's in Db but it has a key signature of F.

treatise is a different beast tho. braxton is still at least somewhat grounded in traditional notation
