ANTHONY BRAXTON WITH THE NORTHWEST CREATIVE ORCHESTRA - Eugene (1989) (1991) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

The innovative alto-saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton leads the Northwest Creative Orchestra (a 16-piece big band) through eight of his compositions on this CD. Few of the sidemen have yet gained more than a local reputation (trumpeter Rob Blakeslee is the biggest "name"), but they perform the complex music quite well, although it would have been nice if the liner notes had identified the soloists and listed what reeds the saxophonists play. A stimulating set of avant-garde music. Scott Yanow
