T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ In the waning days of the 1993 tour, and the soon ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ after disbanding of his finest ù and longest ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ standing ù band, this single concert of the seven ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ nights played at Santa Cruz. This double CD ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ documents with a finality just what the quartet had ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ achieved in its eight years together. Braxton had ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ realized within this group of musicians a goal he ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ had previously thought unattainable: the ability to ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ interchange any composition from any of his periods ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ with any other ù and within each other ù in a small ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ group setting. And given the far-reaching musical ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ tenets each of these "sets of compositions" notated ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ by tracks are, that is no mean feat. The first set ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ takes the now legendary "159" and adds to it the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ rhythm section improvisation from "30," and the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ piano saxophone duet from "108a." Braxton and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Crispell herald in "150," trading phrases and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ polytones as Dresser and Hemingway shift around ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ trying to locate the two soloists in the framework ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ they are playing. When they are heard and are given ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ free passage into "30," they alight before moving ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ each other into a counterpoint system that begs the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ re-entrance of Braxton and Crispell, who slip ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ through the knots, "make it jazz," and hand it back ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ through "108a" before Hemingway and Dresser take it ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ out. And this goes like this throughout. Even where ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Braxton's designs are carried out within one ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ composition, such as on "69f" or "161" or "172," ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ where the new Ghost Trances ù pursued by a sextet ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ after this group split ù period begins, the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ fluidity and harmonic languages created within the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ context of four musicians speaking through one ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ another is ever present. For those who don't find ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Mr. Braxton's music "jazz" enough, or make it "too ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ cerebral" in theory, the fact of the matter is, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ you're not listening. Find your way through ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Crispell's interaction with Dresser on "161" or ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Hemingway's with Braxton's flute on "40 (o)," and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ you will hear, in keeping with both the linear ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ nature of jazz since the '60s and its more ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ design-oriented functionality since the '80s ù ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ which Braxton ushered in almost single-handedly for ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ other improvisers ù the abstractions are obscured ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ by the lyrical interplay coming from the bandstand. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ This is music projected from inside out toward an ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ audience that doesn't have to think so much as ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ emote what they hear. Braxton's systems are large ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ and varied; the sheer psychic and physical energy ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ the band has to endure in order to play this music ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ is almost unimaginable. To listen and think this ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ quickly is not mere communication ù it is ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ telepathy. This is the quartet's farewell, and it ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ is more than fitting; it's astonishing what they ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ achieved in eight years. On the second CD's closer, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ "124+108c+147," you hear Crispell slinking through ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Hemingway's rimshots on "124" to solo with him as ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Braxton repeats a phrase that Dresser harmonically ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ echoes in a trancelike fashion before exploding ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ into "108c," where Braxton takes the lead and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Crispell is shouting out long lines and tonal ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ clusters to Hemingway like she's another drummer. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Dresser takes these fragments and creates a series ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of chords for Braxton to improvise on the soprano ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ before heading wildly into "147," one of this ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ band's signature pieces. Here, all four members are ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ given the opportunity to take the theme and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ deconstruct any or all of its parts within the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ safety of Braxton's harmonic system of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ improvisational intervals. That they all come near ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ to each other before stopping on a dime should be ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ no surprise ù though it does leave one breathless ù ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ given the preceding wonder of the entire set.
