- Scope and Contents
-
This collection features digitized copies of 751 audio and video recordings by composer, MacArthur fellow, and 2014 NEA Jazz Master, Anthony Braxton. This singular collection of recordings by one of the most significant American experimental music composers of the last 50 years represents a unique insight into Braxton’s work from 1970-2011. The original recordings featured in this collection were digitized in 2021 thanks to funding from the Council on Library & Information Resources (CLIR). The original recordings are housed at the Tri-Centric Foundation. The digitized copies of these recordings were donated to Yale in 2021, so they could be digitally preserved and made accessible for research.
