Creative Orchestra (Köln) 1978 is a live album by American composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton.

[1][2][3] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "The music is often dense and atonal but never dull, and the closing composition is a superb piece that displays Braxton's love of marching band music!

Although one wishes that Anthony Braxton himself had played, this is a set easily recommended to his fans".

[4] On All About Jazz Jeff Stockton said "Those curious about Braxton but discouraged by the sheer number of recordings available may find this the place to start.

Braxton is among a handful of jazz composers whose music is part of the graduate-level course in the avant-garde" and Troy Collins noted "Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978 is an endlessly intriguing concert recording that warrants repeated spins, offering new surprises with each listen".
