J Larsen Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Seems like a lot of musicians to fit on the Iridium's stage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I enjoyed it, but it's Braxton and not for all tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Hawkins Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 He played last year at Iridium with about 12 musicians. It was a crowded stage! And I hear it's getting released as a box set next year. Yep - I've been lucky enough to hear some of the music, and it's really wonderful. I couldn't recommend what I heard highly enough.

kh1958 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Seems like a lot of musicians to fit on the Iridium's stage... There are 14 musicians in the Mingus Big Band, who play there every Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I keep amalgamating this thread title with the Lee Morgan one above it in the Discography forum and thinking that I see Anthony Braxton--Live at the Lighthouse.

jasonguthartz Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Actually, the group this March at Iridium will be a septet (or Sextet+1) - the lineup: Anthony Braxton (reeds) Taylor Ho Bynum (brass) Jessica Pavone (viola) Jay Rozen (tuba) Carl Testa (bass) Aaron Siegel (percussion) Mary Halvorson (guitar) And here's the press release for the box set 9 Compositions (Iridium) 2006 (for which I've contributed the DVD).
