Anthony Braxton - For Alto

Recorded in 1969, this historic album was the very first lengthy document of solo saxophone improvisation; originally available as a 2-LP set, all 73 minutes are now on one CD - although only his second recording, "For Alto" revealed that his solo vocabulary of multiphonics, pointillistic intervals & scalar lyricism was already in place.
