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]
Reception
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."[5]
