1 is a live album by composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton with a ninetet, recorded at the Yoshi's in 1997 and released on the Leo label in 2002 as a double CD.

[1][2][3][4] The Allmusic review by Steve Loewy stated "this two-CD set captures Anthony Braxton's "Ghost Trance" music performed by a sympathetic nonet, consisting of a saxophone sextet plus a rhythm section.

Each of the group's members is closely associated with Braxton, so that this performance can be said to accurately portray the structure of the music and the intentions of the composer.

This is very difficult music to listen to at one sitting, and the written saxophone parts can be particularly torturous.

Pounding pulses devoid of melody, a somewhat limited tonal palette, and lots of repeating phrases (what the composer calls "repetition") add to the complexity and the opaqueness.
