In the Tradition is an album by American saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton recorded in 1974 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label.

[1][2][3][4] The album features Braxton's interpretations of jazz standards and was followed by a second volume recorded at the same sessions which was released in 1976.

It was originally going to be a Dexter Gordon album, but due to Dexter being ill, Braxton filled in for him.

[1] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The great avant-gardist Anthony Braxton threw the jazz world a curve with this album.

...A historical curiosity, this set is not as essential as Braxton's explorations of his own music.
