The Anthony Braxton Sextet treated a receptive and enthusiastic audience with an interpretation of Composition 345. With the possible exception of trumpeter Taylor Ho Bynum and, obviously, Braxton himself who insufflate more of their own personality, the musicians were totally in the service of the music in following precisely the score and its requirements. They would combine themselves in sub-groups as required by the modular structure of the composition. The result was a juxtaposition and layering of not necessarily complementary sub-compositions that fully exploited the internal combinatorial structure of a sextet.-All About Jazz [Victoriaville]
