Chicago's AACM spawned great musical diversity, and Jarman and Braxton, both brilliant saxophonists, might be considered almost polar opposites: Jarman's music an incandescent impassioned yearning, Braxton's cerebral, complex, structural play. Even the titles of the compositions will demonstrate that. But the common threads, too, contribute to making this an inspired musical meeting. Each is interested in using a wealth of different sounds, and each possesses an analytical lyricism that draws strongly on modern European composition techniques. They play a host of instruments here, and the textures vary from the unison altos of Jarman's title tune to the flute and piano of his "Dawn Dance One," from the electronics of Braxton's "Ck7 (GN) 436" to the sustained unison of contrabass clarinet and soprano saxophone for his "SBN-A-1-66K." --Stuart Broomer
