Roscoe Mitchell / Anthony Braxton / Richard Teitelbaum / ROVA Sax Quartet - Nickelsdorf 1984

And finally one for the (even) more adventurous listeners... a compilation of partial sets from the 1984 edition of the Konfrontationen festival in Nickelsdorf, Austria.

This features a large orchestra co-led by Roscoe Mitchell and Anthony Braxton, a special project by Mitchell including a string quartet, the duo of Braxton and synths player Richard Teitelbaum, as well as Braxton sitting in with the ROVA Saxophone Quartet.

I hope you're in for a ride!
