12 Comp (ZIM) 2017
by Anthony Braxton

supported by 4 fans who also own “Spectrum”

Beautifully immersive sound experience. Not familiar enough with the mechanics of ZIM and the liner notes are pretty oblique about those but ample on the poetics and the humor (yes!) of this music. A high water mark for Braxton's music. Mr. Edison
