How To: Space Travel

Standing near the front of a group of musical pioneers is Anthony Braxton. He conducts experiments in the sound and shape of music, and constantly challenges the boundaries of what we consider “music.” While some might not get his music, and others might not care to, I strongly recommend a healthy dose of reading/listening at Destination: Out. Like or dislike, hopefully you’ll catch enough to ride the spacewaves for a brief moment.

After all, without space pioneers like AB we would not have the pop-driven Bad Plus, or the avant-influenced Happy Apple (to name a few). It only takes a minute for the influence of AB to be impressed upon listeners of contemporary jazz.
