Forces in Motion the Music and Thoughts of Anthony Braxton

Graham Lock

Da Capo, NY. 1988. Da Capo Paperback edition. Some minor edgewear, in excellent condition otherwise.

From the publisher:

"One of modern music's towering figures, composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton has redefined critical concepts of jazz and the wider world of creative music. The Chicago native's works range from an early piece for 100 tubas to proposed compositions for orchestras on different planets. A modern classic, Forces in Motion follows Braxton's lauded quartet on a 1985 tour of England, noting his opinions of his musical predecessors — including Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and Karlheinz Stockhausen — as well as his thoughts on racism and poverty."

Quite simply a contender for the best "jazz book" in history; this will change how you make music. Absolutely necessary.
