Bit of a thrill this punky thrash around the more obscure work of Anthony Braxton with 'Composition 61' leading off The Anthony Braxton Project to be released next month. The work of Thumbscrew who are celebrating Anthony Braxton's 75th birthday, with previously unrecorded pieces by Braxton from the vaults. A trio [Tomas Fujiwara - drums and vibraphone; Mary Halvorson - guitar; Michael Formanek - double bass] Halvorson says: “We chose pieces that captured our imagination and that we thought would work well for the instrumentation of guitar, bass, and drums or vibraphone.'' To be released by Cuneiform.
