Anthony Braxton is at the head of list of artists invoked to prove the racist perniciousness of genre distinctions between so-called "jazz" and so-called "classical" (much less the privileging of so-called "classical" over the so-called other).  This program examines Braxton's work on the occasion of his 75th birthday year.  There are panel discussions and performances by exciting young players of so-called "jazz" music, as well as rare videos of Braxton himself.  Let's hope the performances predominate.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Fabiola:  pour 3/4 oz. each of Vermouth Blanc (or in this case Bianco), Brandy, and Grand Marnier into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Stir.  Strain into an chilled Martini glass or coupe.
