These questions are horrible, and whoever asked these should be ashamed for disrespecting Mr. Braxton. Yet, the questions are hilarious and Braxton does a great job trying to answer them. Thank you for posting this.

It is unfortunate that a great composer like AB has to deal with people asking these kind of questions. He is very much a gentleman to even entertain this kind of emptiness.

Yeah, I agree AB was very kind to an "interviewer" (and I use that word facetiously) who couldn't even frame a simple question for a wonderful musician. I think the fact that Braxton is considered a genius made her attempt to be something she is not: a person capable of asking a simple, interesting question.

what'd ab do , play screetchy, schmeery, pukey arythmic animal sounds over giant steps? plus ...i hear no love or beauty in his nonlanguage. his main talent is foolin' squares...and fools.

Nedmanxxx makes his own point about words and turds. I played a big band concert with braxton in 1982. We did Bird's Au Privau and you don't need me to tell you that he smoked it. For anyone that doubts his "inside" abilities, the first half of the concert was him playing Giant Steps solo at 300BPM on alto. MESSAGE: shut mouth & open mind. Re this interview: look at some interviews of Bird and Diz. Same thing: trying not to make the interviewer look dumb despite obviously stupid questions.

glad he's still around, I saw him perform in detroit around 1980. I wish more musicians would discover his music and become more inspired. Anything is better than hearing the same 60 year old Charlie Parker licks over and over
These question are stupid and nonsensical..

These English are flawed and grammatically incorrect.

Gad what a waste of air, at least we don't have to hear him torture any weird instruments to sound like farm animals fighting which is what we usually does.

I don't know your music...what do you mean when you say "what we usually do"?

If Braxton is too esoteric for the masses, thank God! We've got more than enough jazzers who can play the same standard everynight and talk about "America's Classical Music" ad nauseam.
