1985 – summer
unidentified church
Paris (France)

NOTES:

all information from Graham Lock (via personal e-mail, Apr-2005); he explains:
"In the summer of 1985 Braxton recorded approx 14 LPs worth of solo music for Stil Editions. The recording was done in a church in Paris. (There's info re this in Forces in Motion on pages 136 and 384.) As far as I know, none of this material has ever been issued EXCEPT for one track on a special CD+catalogue issue that Stil released to celebrate their 25th anniversary. It's hard to say what the CD is called - the cover has the following info: 'Stil audio numerique / Un Quart de Siecle / 25 annees d'urgence et de creation / Bonjour, Monsieur BEUYS!' while the disc itself has 'Stil audio numerique / Neuf titres pour 1/4 de siecle, 1971-1996'. The catalogue number is 2103 SAN 97 and the disc was issued in 1997. All the tracks on it except the Braxton are from discs Stil had already released. There's no info re date or place of recording of the Braxton track (but he did tell me in 1985 it was Paris in the summer!). The Braxton track is simply listed as 'Saxo-improvisation, saxo alto', with a timing of 6' 39". I'm certain it's actually a version of 'You Go To My Head' (though, curiously, in the track listing that Braxton gave me for the 14 LPs back in 1985 - see Forces in Motion [p.384] - there's no mention of 'You Go To My Head'!)"

NOTES:

Gräwe: "I remember I was flying in from Donaueschingen that same day, after playing with Phil Wachsmann and Melvyn Poore the night before, and the show with Braxton was something like 5 or 6 in the afternoon." (interview by Mark Wastell, Avant magazine, Winter 1999, p.19); according to Gräwe's release Chamber Works 1990-92 (Random Acoustics RA 003, CD), that performance with Wachsmann & Poore took place on October 18, which would place this duo concert on October 19; however, the date of the quartet session above is also given as October 19, so... this all points to one of the following: both performances (duo with Gräwe, quartet with Mengelberg) occurred on October 19, Gräwe's memory is faulty, or the wrong date is given in the liner notes of October Meeting 1991: 3 Quartets or Gräwe's Chamber Works 1990-92.
