Those records weren't so important for a commercial label such as was Arista Records. I think were instead important for Braxton and AACM: the label left total freedom to the musicians and gave them (braxton first) a great visibility based on the possibility of a larger distribution then on a small independent label. I've always thought that Braxton is one of the most important musician of the last 40 years and my consideration grows daily. When I found Braxton "cutouts" Arista lp in shops of northern italy I always bougt them. Finally few years ago I found in a antiquities market (among old dresses, dishes and glasses) an italian reissu of the Montreux/Berlin Concerts. Keep in touch. Your blog is a great one!

I just checked and I have seven out of the nine albums included in the box set plus "The Complete...," all purchased as "cutouts" in the late seventies.

It doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard by him - in fact, it reminds me of Charles Gayle's <I>Touchin' On Trane</I>; it's very much a free blowout. Highly recommended.

Plenty of time to work your way through B's discography... And that is Barry on drums, unless the album listing and discog sources are flukey for some reason.
