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.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 19:17 (twelve years ago) link
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.

having never played an instrument or anything those scores look like funny squiggles to me
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
treatise is a different beast tho. braxton is still at least somewhat grounded in traditional notation

not exactly sure what d-40 is on about -- just cuz it might be "record collector jazz" doesn't mean it's not good! sort of agree about the sun ra presence in this poll, but he's still got at least four or five masterpieces.
