I had the wonderful pleasure of seeing him perform today then meeting him. He’s a beautiful warm person who thanks you more for being at his show. Thank you for everything you do for the music world, it would be a less interesting place without him. ❤

[@monsterjazzlicks]

A wonderfully original musician with no boundaries.

[@Lachenmann7]

A great, great soul. It’s self-evident, and it radiates out of his being-in-the-world.

[@StashWyslouch]

YES! Anthony Braxton is an angel!

[@delphinewhite715]

WOW! Beautifully Sublime! This ballad Calmed my soul and soothed my spirit! Absolutely beautiful!

[@Lachenmann7]

The moment of surreal comic relief (funny though Braxton can be) is the sudden appearance of Wynton Marsalis. The 100%-extreme-antithesis of the great Anthony. In an odd way, he has no right to be there. He exudes everything Braxton stands in defiance of. Even if that gentle soul would never admit it.

God he seems to get a bit anxious, that is sad, he's so anxious about how where he seems to come from, what people could take from what he's saying yet it's so right and beautiful, never change a thing Anthony Braxton ,: |

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

God that tune after the speech, wow, what ideas, opera but in the modern times but not limited by Museum of opera, unique stuff, this is the sound of possibilities ,: 0

I'm glad he's not an egomaniac

[@alessandroseravalle8674]

Pure genius

[@1955drv]

Beautiful ballad 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@NoName-tq7qc]

Trillium J sounds like The Owl And The Pussycat by Stravinsky. Well most composers are influenced by Stravinsky. Great piece by the way.

[@juliusseizure591]

Was it meant to be funny? It's hilarious!

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

I heard more Janacek and a lil phillip glass even though I haven't heard that stravinsky tune so I could be wrong, like Janacek his opera about the fox who tries 2 eat the chickens n she is in trouble n flirting with the hunter, who eventually snuffs her out, but the frogs n bees n her daughter n others, they all know they r missing something or, but they sense a victory, they r redeemed n they all know where 2 sleep ,: 0

@@juliusseizure591 Is a little, it's so composed, not a second wasted! But I guess just his style, is really interesting stuff ,: 0
