3. you should be clever enough and show your ignorance about reed playing: mr. braxton can do very difficult things in a wide range of reed instruments. very few people in the world have his same facility. Plus, he has a huge knowledge of jazz tradition. I am saying all this as a composer, a reed player, a jazz player, an improvisor, and because i had the oportunity to play with mr. braxton.
so please show respect.

the first thing i have to say to those saying bad things about mr. braxton's music is that you guys should show respect to people before they are artists. I don't like, f.ex. jennifer lopez music, but i would never say that she is a bad person, or that her music is shit. i would respect her even if she's making a billion times the money mr. braxton is making.

Trying to get people to appreciate avant garde jazz is like trying to "get" how you feel when you have an emotional reaction to seeing a film that noone else seems to have, because they themselves have never experienced that which the film evoked in you. Getting people to show respect to music they dislike/do not connect with, especially on youtube, is an exercise in futility. Best to ignore it. .. Groove on what you groove on, and that is good enough.

This is like the Insane Clown Posse of Instrumental music: it is music by definition, but people dont enjoy it as such.

Actually this kind of music requires higher concentration than usual music, it is more a specialist affair. Some can be astonished by the technical skill of mr braxton, and some can make fun of this "experimental" music and wonder how we can make such a noise and been paid for this. I am more on the first side of these two situations but I understand that some people can find it boring.

Contrabass clarinet! Fantastic!! If only people would simply listen to the sounds rather than criticizing this stuff for not being something else.
