For three decades, Anthony Braxton has been alternately celebrated,
dismissed, and attacked for his musical innovations. His ambitious
efforts to reconcile and personalize the historically divergent and
often conflicting worldviews and principles of African-American
(jazz), American Experimental (post-Ives), and Western European
(post-serial) traditions have attracted both loyal supporters and
passionate critics. Mike Heffley has followed Braxton's widely
varied music from its beginning, and in 1988 began a professional
musical relationship with him. His "biography" of Braxton's music
is just that--a look at the music as if it were a living entity,
with a traceable ancestry, a describable place in the world, and a
history full of drama, intrigue, and passion. The music scholar
will find here all the information necessary to understand the
contents, contexts, and concepts of Braxton's music, and to further
that understanding. The general reader will find the human and
trans-human qualities that make the music so compelling to its
makers and lovers.
