ANTHONY BRAXTON QUARTET
HAMBURG 21.01.81

Year: 1981 
Time: 1h 13 mins
Music 
Anthony Braxton:  Saxophones
Ray Anderson: Trombone
Hugh Ragin: Trumpet
Marylin Crispell: Piano
Eye of Sound: Unique chamber music for quartet, from a decisive period in Braxton's adventure. Composition 98 and a fiery yet soulful solo. Tightly interlaced designs, focused instrumentation, an immense melodical and rythmical complexity. Rarely did a bird swim so deep.
