"This 1999 collection of recordings from the 1970s features Braxton at the height of his powers....While the sound quality is mixed, the music is some of Braxton's best. There are two solo performances ("Composition 8g" and "Composition 8c"); three classic quartets ("Four Winds" with trombonist George Lewis, bassist Dave Holland, drummer Barry Altschul, and Braxton on sopranino, clarinet, and piccolo; "Composition 23E" and "Composition -2" with Kenny Wheeler on flugelhorn; and an impressive duo between Braxton on clarinet and Dave Holland on cello). Sparks fly throughout, as this collection enthralls with some of the best jazz of the era".
