Summary: Opens up a whole world of exploration
Comment: I read this book at least twice a year and always discover something new in it. You actually don't even really need to like Braxton's music to get something out of it, all you need is an interest in creative music and an open mind. The book covers a tour with Anthony Braxton in 1985 in England, the writer toured with the band for about three weeks. The book is his effort to process and distill the things he learned about Braxton's music and creative music in general. His approach is creative and engaging; there are three types of chapters - interviews with Braxton or the band, descriptions of individual performances, and necessary background to create a context for discussing certain concepts. The bibliography alone is almost worth the price, so many amazing and obscure resources, as is the great interview with Sun Ra and the appendices of the book that go into further background about some of the more spiritual ("vibrational") aspects of music and what it sets into motion. It's been an inspiring resource for me in trying to come to grips with my own music and as encouragement to try to follow a personal vision, and it's one of the few books I've read that makes a real attempt to deal with music not just at a theoretical or technical level, but also the human forces that has the potential to set in motion.
