Listening Room – “Five Pieces 1975″
Anthony Braxton assembled one of his best groups for this 1975 release on Arista Records. With Dave Holland, Kenny Wheeler and Barry Altschul joining him in the studio, Braxton laid down what is considered by his many admirers as one of his finest recordings of the 1970's. All but the opening track (You Stepped Out of a Dream) were composed by Braxton and the tight and very capable players in the group handle the complex music beautifully.
