By and large this would sync up with the sequence I heard the LPs, though not always. With Brax, I'd heard a little bit (iirc) of his BYG things on radio but actually never got to owning them until much later on disc. Going from memory, I probably got this shortly after the first Arista album, before the second. <BR/><BR/>I was previously familiar with the AEC and others at the time, so Trio & Duet wasn't an entirely new experience. If anything, the synth sounds were something different, though I was aware of Sun Ra by then as well. <BR/><BR/>And of course, the redoubtable Mr. Emerson!Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-20235286364848872122007-07-19T01:51:00.000-04:002007-07-19T01:51:00.000-04:00I know that I was lucky in my relation to this mus...I know that I was lucky in my relation to this music both in perms of concerts and recordings (I was in Madison when Cecil Taylor and Bill Dixon were teaching, while Chuck Nessa was also managing a record store there and later had access through record store and radio work to a ton of promos), but it's really difficult for me to imagine getting an accurate handle on Braxton's early music (late '60s-mid-70s) without attention to his ensemble discs on Delmark, BYG and other labels from that time.<BR/><BR/>Nor, for that matter, outside the context of all the albums coming out by other AACM groups led by Abrams, Jarman, Mitchell et al. <BR/><BR/>Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your organization here and you're moving from solo to duos to larger groups or something. But it doesn't seem like this is the case. <BR/><BR/>Also, I don't think I have access to an e-address for you, but it seems that I <B>may</B> have a chance of getting down to San Antonio around when you're there, so please get in touch with me about details; herb@eskimo.com .Herb Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361075879064632458noreply@blogger.com
