A 28 de Março próximo, Anthony Braxton estará na Downtown Music Gallery, em Nova Iorque, para autografar a monumental edição das suas 9 Compositions (Iridium) 2006 – “o estado da arte da minha obra e uma revisão até ao ponto em que me encontro”, comentou Braxton – com lançamento marcado para 3 de Abril, na Firehouse 12 Records, de Nick Lloyd e Taylor Ho Bynum. Aproveitando a estada na Big Apple, Anthony Braxton actuará no Iridium durante 4 noites, de 29 de Março a 1 de Abril. A edição de 9 Compositions (Iridium) 2006 inclui a estreia das Compositions 350 a 358, que corresponde ao encerramento da série Ghost Trance Music (GTM), iniciada há 11 anos atrás, e um documentário em DVD sobre a preparação e execução das obras, excertos de actuações ao vivo do septeto (Anthony Braxton, Taylor Ho Bynum, Jessica Pavone, Jay Rozen, Mary Halvorson, Carl Testa e Aaron Siegel), e um conjunto de documentos inéditos.
9 Compositions (Iridium) 2006 is a 9-CD box set documenting what Time Out New York called "last Spring's epochal run" by the Anthony Braxton 12+1tet at Iridium in March 2006. Braxton has been called a "jazz legend" (The New York Times), "an obvious genius" (All Music Guide), "an extraordinary musician" (Village Voice), and "one of the past forty years' great radical musical thinkers" (AllAboutJazz.com). His groundbreaking and continually evolving approach to music, developed over the past five decades, embraces a wealth of musical traditions ranging from jazz saxophonists Warne Marsh and Albert Ayler to innovative American composers John Cage and Charles Ives to pioneering European Avant-Garde figures Karlheinz Stockhausen and Iannis Xenakis. Fanatically documented by a dedicated following around the world, his multi-faceted career includes hundreds of recordings, an influential legacy as an educator and author of scholarly writings, and awards such as the prestigious John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation fellowship.
