about

Celebrate Anthony Braxton’s forthcoming 80th birthday with the Definitive Remastered Edition of his groundbreaking second studio album — a pivotal AACM recording featuring avant-garde legends Leo Smith, Steve McCall, and Leroy Jenkins, now available in a deluxe package with a new essay by jazz specialist Kevin Le Gendre.

Saxophonist-composer Anthony Braxton was one of the most significant individuals in the Association For The Advancement Of Creative Musicians (AACM), a group of artists based in Chicago who prioritised originality; a significant cultural event at the tail end of the 60s. For the next 50 years Braxton would prove daringly adventurous in his concepts and performances, and B-X0 N0-47A remains a classic title in his vast discography.

The album saw him lead a group that included fellow AACM members, trumpeter Leo Smith (before he took the name Wadada), drummer Steve McCall and violinist Leroy Jenkins, yet there was such a wide array of instruments used on the session that the small group had a big sound. Anything from chimes and logs to harmonica and darbuka, as well as the intriguingly named ‘sound machine’, enabled the quartet to fashion a singular textural palette. Braxton and his colleagues were set to become pivotal figures in the avant-garde or ‘New thing’ movement that had broken with the prevailing conventions of the jazz industry.

Restored & remastered from the original master tapes, this premium edition of B-X0 NO-47A provides an opportunity to enjoy the unique nature of Braxton’s vision as never heard as well as the priceless chemistry between him, Smith, Jenkins and McCall. They made historic music which has stood the test of time.
