(2-CD set) Recorded in 1994 by the 23-piece Creative Jazz Orchestra, Anthony Braxton considers these two compositions to be his most important works. They might be called Anthony Braxton's operas, and the 20-page booklet gives full librettos of both. Although the orchestra in question is called Creative Jazz Orchestra, the music is much closer to classical/academic avant-garde than to jazz. The scope of Braxton's vision is really amazing, and this double CD is a necessary addition to the collections of Braxton's devotees.

A deluxe edition celebrating visionary composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton's 80th birthday. The definitive remastered edition of his second studio album, restored and mastered from the original tapes. Presented in a deluxe gatefold digi-sleeve that reflects the aesthetics of the original LP, complete with a printed inner wallet and a 16-page booklet featuring exclusive notes by author and jazz specialist Kevin Le Gendre. The birth of the Association for The Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) in Chicago was a significant cultural event at the tail end of the 60s. As the name suggests it was a grouping of artists who prioritized originality, and saxophonist-composer Anthony Braxton was one of the most significant individuals in it's ranks. For the subsequent 50 years he would prove daringly adventurous in his concepts and performances, and B-X0 NO-47A remains a classic title in his vast discography. The album saw him lead a group that included fellow AACM members, trumpeter Leo Smith (before he took the name Wadada), drummer Steve McCall and violinist Leroy Jenkins, yet there was such a wide array of instruments used on the session that the small group had a big sound. Anything from chimes and logs to harmonica and darbuka, as well as the intriguingly named 'sound machine', enabled the quartet to fashion a singular textural palette. Anthony Braxton and his colleagues were set to become pivotal figures in the avant-garde or 'New thing' movement that had broken with the prevailing conventions of the jazz industry. This definitive remastered version of the album provides an opportunity to enjoy the unique nature of Braxton's vision as never heard as well as the priceless chemistry between him, Smith, Jenkins and McCall. They made historic music which has stood the test of time.

Braxton hails from west Texas... Lubbock, to be exact. This album is a love letter that pays tribute to his roots and formative years on the Great Plains. The CD, Flashback, contains material that reflects Tom's past through the lens of his contemporary smooth jazz perspective. Family, community, fun, and precious memories are the themes. Genre SMOOTH JAZZ

In 2025, PMP is proud to release Trillium X, a sixth opera by Anthony Braxton, on the occasion of his 80th Birthday. A limited deluxe 8-CD box set including both, a live recording of the world premiere in Prague, a studio recording realized at the famous Darmstadt Summer Course, a 6-hour of exclusive audio-visual materials documented a complete world premiere, documentary film In the Garden of Trillium X, and in-depth conversation between Anthony Braxton, Swiss conductor Roland Dahinden and German writer and Braxton's scholar Timo Hoyer. Braxton spent five years working on his opus magnum. He has been significantly involved in all Trillium performances, including this one. He has accompanied the rehearsals from the very beginning. However, the leading man in charge was Roland Dahinden, his long-time fellow from Wesleyan University. Dahinden and incredible PMP Orchestra represent the ongoing generational change in creative music. "X is a dream-logical world unto itself, a place to get lost in for a handful of hours, like Wagner, but strictly according to Braxton-ian rules of order and exploration." - Josef Woodard, DownBeat, 5-stars

To paraphrase the old stock brokerage commercial: "When Anthony Braxton plays, people listen". And they have been doing so for decades, through dozens of recordings spanning an evolution that is remarkable for it's independence and virtuosity. Braxton's first two albums, "Three Compositions of New Jazz" (1968, DMK #415) and "For Alto" (1969, DMK #420) were released on Delmark, and it's only fitting that the present rare quartet version of his self-described "Ghost Trance Music" be released more than thirty years later on the same label. Features Anthony Braxton on woodwinds, Kevin Uehlinger on piano/melodica, Keith Witty on bass, and Noam Schatz on percussion.

Anthony Braxton was first documented as a player in 1967 on Muhal Richard Abrams' Levels and Degrees of Light (DMK 413) Nine months of gestation produced this, his first recording as a leader. Braxton the player/composer/constructor is here at full length. In retrospect he was a much more developed and confident musician than he may have seemed at the time.
