Vintage Original B&W Photo, Anthony Braxton recording in Copenhagen – 1974

After losing hope in his ability to support himself as a working musician, Braxton started playing chess competitively. However, in 1970, he joined pianist Chick Corea’s trio, which also included Dave Holland on double bass and Barry Altschul on drums, to form the short-lived avant-garde quartet Circle. With the lineup of Richard Davis (bass), Steve McCall (drums), Wadada Leo Smith (trumpet), Leroy Jenkins (violin), and Muhal Richard Abrams (piano, cello), Muse released his album Creative Construction Company in 1970. The album was later reissued under the title Muhal by the Italian label Vedette. Jazz and marching band traditions served as inspiration for the 1976 Creative Orchestra Music. In the 1970s, Braxton also recorded duets with Richard Teitelbaum and George Lewis.
