ED BLACKWELL QUARTET "TIN PALACE 1979"

 

This concert was most probably part of a double bill with the Moffett Family.

The picture above is from the Tin Palace. But obviously and unfortunately after it was used as a location for many wonderful concerts... And don't miss the interview Ted Panken conducted with Edward Blackwell in May 1986 https://tedpanken.wordpress.com/2011/07/21/edward-blackwell-wkcr-may-4-1986/

Anthony Braxton Quintet - Live in Milan '77

"At this point, speaking of Braxton and his music is difficult: he's an
artist exposed to all sorts of influences, very receptive, but also with
enormous intelligence and integrity, that always put him in a much
more critical perspective towards those influences.
His music reflects all this, there is no hint of complacency on one side
and there is no time to be ironic on the present on the other side.
The past, especially bebop, is perhaps an essential part of his inspiration.
The analyticity of Braxton's interpretations is a stimulus that is
difficult to escape." G.Dalla Bona - Musica Jazz July 1977
