Publisher's Synopsis
"This book should be required reading for anyone interested in my music," declared composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton. One of jazz's most important figures, Braxton transcends the usual critical boundaries with works ranging from a piece for 100 tubas to compositions for interplanetary orchestras. Based on interviews from a 1985 tour, this is a fascinating profile of a musical visionary and his ethical, political, and spiritual beliefs. "Absolutely essential reading." - The Wire.
