Maestro, nice to hear you again. Anthony is a very special soul, and musical spirit. He was one of my thesis advisors 20 years ago and I'm happy to know he is still contributing his uniqueness and creativity. There is no "opposition", man!
Great interview, I could have spent 60 minutes. Books on Braxton are great but it's also fun to hear it straight from him. I need to get his Tri-Axiom books.
Here is the quagmire! When picasso takes ideas from African art and assimilates it then it remains European art. When an African learns from Europe it becomes universal. This is why we don't own any of our land. It should be fine for blackness to be universal. Coltrane made universal black music. Infact all African cultures are syncretic.
Thank you for uploading this interview with a pioneer of the jazz Anthony Braxton.
