In a sense, Four Compositions (GTM) 2000 is a homecoming for Anthony Braxton. This 2003 release reunites the avant-garde reedman with Delmark Records, where he recorded his first album, 3 Compositions of New Jazz, in 1968.

Many non-avant-garde musicians have had difficulty comprehending Braxton's work, but these sideman obviously understand where he is coming from and serve him well on this inspired addition to his sizable catalog. ~ Alex Henderson

To paraphrase the old stock brokerage commercial: "When Anthony Braxton plays, people listen". And they have been doing so for decades, through dozens of recordings spanning an evolution that is remarkable for its independence and virtuosity. Braxton's f
