The Complete Arista Recordings Of Anthony Braxton (8 CDs)

(Release Date - October)

Anthony Braxton is the sort of artist who triggers those heated "Is it jazz?"debates; whatever his music is, it is brilliant. By the time he signed with Arista Records in 1974 at the age of 29, he had emerged as one of the major figures in Chicago's AACM, formed Circle with Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Barry Altchul and lived the expatriate life in Paris and moved freely in jazz and contemporary classical circles.

What made his output at Arista (1974-80) so unique was the range of projects he was able to realize thanks to the supportive budgets of a major label. This 8-CD set rescues his entire 14-LP Arista output from forgotten vaults. From live and studio recordings with his quartet (with Kenny Wheeler or George Lewis, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul) to solo alto excursions to a duet with Muhal Richard Abrams to Creative Orchestra Music to trios with Roscoe Mitchell/Joseph Jarman and Henry Threadgill/Douglas Ewert to his thoroughly composed pieces for two pianos and for four orchestras, Braxton explored every aspect of modern music through his own creative vision with astonishing results.

这算是一个激动人心的消息，MOSAIC总算要为ANTHONY做个套了，来自ARISTA公司的完整14张LP纠结成8CD的套装。是的，ANTHONY一度曾让我们困惑，是否他走得太远了？或是我们不能靠近？LEO的ANTHONY BRAXTON的一大摞理论式唱片让我们摸不着头脑。后期的BRAXTON的可听性明显减弱了，他完全走进了自己的世界，以不同的组合，不同的编制绘制出一幅只属于他自己的蓝图，除了少得可怜的两套STANDARD,和独奏之外。如今，MOSAIC向我们描绘的是另一处精彩画卷，那时的ANTHONY更原始，更富激情，也更少了现今的许多条条框框。这是MOSAIC公司首次向我们展现它的前卫一面（MOSAIC也发行过CANDID的CECIL TAYLOR之类，但这些算不上真正的前卫，那时的CECIL还很“传统”），是否会有更多的偏离其轨道的套装出现，我们期待。

注：其中的极少数如THE COMPLETE BRAXTON ，前卫爱好者恐怕人手一张了，但大多数都是我们还未曾拥有的。

同期还有秋吉敏子的一个3张套SELECT大乐队系列，这个我倒不是很感冒，以后试听下再说
MOSAIC SELECT:

Toshiko Akiyoshi -Lew Tabackin Big Band (3 CDs)

(Release Date - October)

With the formation of their 16-piece orchestra in 1973, Toshiko's image shifted from being a great bop-inspired pianist to being a composer-arranger of great invention. Her scores are varied and rich in tonal colors, often drawing on traditional Japanese music as well as jazz. The band, loaded with the cream of the LA scene and led by Lew, swings the hell out of her inventive, intricate arrangements. Their five studio albums (1974-77) form the great initial opus by this distinctive orchestra; they are Kogun, Long Yellow Road, Tales Of A Courtesan, Insights and March Of The Tadpoles.

哦，十月快来吧~~~~

比较期待，因为有70年代的AB，DH和KW，不过看乐评人Brian Olewnick给了好几张2星级别，还是有点担心，不过70年代的AB，第一印象就是平静中的爆发.......
