	... The following is from a post that I just sent to the Saturn List: Amazon's entry reads as follows (with a few Moudry modifications): ...

	Saturnians & Free Jazzers, It's a sad duty to forward the following obit., just received from Steve Voce via the Ellington List: ...

	I'd agree with Bill's recommendation for the Santa Cruz set - though Willisau is also essential :) And while they are not as well-recorded as the hatARTs, the...

	Jason-- I actually suggested a Brax Arista box on the Mosaic website. I got an email back a week later from Cuscuna himself. He said that they're negotiating...

	Although it has been released only 3 years ago, you can call this record rightfully a classic. The woodwind section consisting of four players and the strings...

68		Ken Waxman cj649@xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx...	Dec 4, 1999 6:55 pm
	IMHO Braxton playing standards, especially on piano, may make him happy, but doesn't do too much for the music. Hearing him deal with the standard repretoire...

70		Franz Fuchs f.fuchs@xxx.xxxx	Dec 4, 1999 9:06 pm
	... My reaction to "Trio (London) 1993" was similar. But so far I've only listened to it once, which is of course not enough to give the record full justice. I...

	... I played portions of this on my old radio show on WNUR a while back, and found it interesting. From what I can recall, it's a different experience than the...

73		Bill McConaghy wmcconag@xxxxxxxxx.xxxx	Dec 5, 1999 1:01 pm
	I've spent a little time listening to Brax play piano, as I bought the 4 CD set of the quartet material. Try as I might, I couldn't get into the music. His...
74		Ken Waxman cj649@xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx...	Dec 5, 1999 8:19 pm
	It may be more a question of economics than anything else, but it sems there's a different group of musicians involved with Brax's Ghost Trance work and operas...

77		Justin Kau kad5_2000@xxxxx.xxxx	Dec 6, 1999 4:51 am
	I think it would be rather insulting to define artists like Kevin Norton or Joe Fonda or Ted Reichman, etc. as acolytes. Also, are you sure that everyone...
78		Robert Spencer rbspencr@xx.xxxxxx.xxxx	Dec 6, 1999 12:14 pm
	It seems to me that in the piano quartet work he is meshing the musical concept of his solo piano works with standards playing. If you don't come in expecting...
79		Bill McConaghy wmcconag@xxxxxxxxx.xxxx	Dec 6, 1999 3:22 pm
	He's just not a good piano player. His playing is not entirely under his control. I'd much rather hear him play an instrument which he can play at a high...
80		Robert Spencer rbspencr@xx.xxxxxx.xxxx	Dec 6, 1999 5:53 pm
	This may be, but have you heard the solo piano discs on No More Records? There seems to be a good bit more subtlety in his playing on those than on the piano...
81		Bill McConaghy wmcconag@xxxxxxxxx.xxxx	Dec 6, 1999 6:33 pm
	Haven't heard that one. I'm not keen to try it out, since I got burned buying the 4 CD Music and Arts set new. That was the only Braxton purchase (out of...

86		Robert Spencer rbspencr@xx.xxxxxx.xxxx	Dec 10, 1999 5:42 pm
	... Absolutely! This is a killer disc: one of AB's most straightforwardly jazzy as well as displaying his uniqueness well. 40B is a tremendous track, comparing...
