Product Description
Saturn, Conjunct The Grand Canyon In A Sweet Embrace is the second release in a two-part series of a live duo performance by Wadada Leo Smith and Anthony Braxton. Recorded April 5th, 2003 at Tonic in NYC, this is the entire second set as it happened that night.

Wadada and Braxton's relationship dates back to their stay in Paris in the late ‘60s and their subsequent return to New York. This is the first recording dedicated entirely to Wadada and Braxton's duo music. Consisting of three pieces, one each by Wadada & Braxton and one penned by both of them together, this might be the only opportunity that one has to hear this startling music.

Unlike much music out there, Wadada and Braxton's music is truly individual and systematic. Their respective approaches are the result of a lifetime of study and the formation and execution of ideas all pointing towards the documentation and realization of new horizons in music. This disc, along with its predecessor Organic Resonance, presents possibly one of the last times two of the great musical minds of our time will be together on the same stage. The information and music contained within will fuel a generation of musicians in the vocabulary of duo music for time to come.
