In a 40-year career, Anthony Braxton has reinterpreted most of the jazz repertoire while composing at the pace of Bach or Mozart. A musical futurist projecting multiple orchestras playing on different planets, Braxton has played duets with bop pioneer Max Roach, conducted his own opera and composed for 100 tubas. In "Time and Anthony Braxton" Stuart Broomer looks insistently at time, whether in the shape of jazz history, time's relationship to pitch, or the unique ways in which Braxton constructs the musical moment. In approaching the dense weave of Braxton's musical thought, Broomer touches on Nicola Tesla, St. Augustine of Hippo, Ezra Pound and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.
