94 for Three Instrumentalists is a live album by composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton featuring two variations of the title piece recorded in Italy in 1980 and first released on the Golden Years of New Jazz label in 1999.
The poor sound quality diminishes the thrill somewhat, but this CD remains an important document and a major contribution to Braxton's discography.
As usual, Braxton's perspectives and deeply personal if not scholarly approach defies categorization as his bandmates also give it their all!
Anthony Braxton’s Composition No.94 For Three Instrumentalists (1980) is an important edition to a form of music which evolves yet beckons rediscovery".
However, like much of his music for larger ensembles... it is full of subtle splendors and rewards repeated listenings, if only for the easy magnificence of Braxton's soloing.
