Tropos

https://troposensemble.bandcamp.com

TroposTropos is a collective quintet of improviser-composers whose method is centered around highly attuned and detailed listening through which they explore the limitlessness of form, memory, and thematic material. They engage as specifically as possible across a variety of parameters with each other’s improvisational offerings: soloistic voices may emerge, sometimes a balanced collectivity unfolds.Axioms // 75ab, released 15 May 20201.

Imagine what he had in the other suitcases. Now, imagine an alternate universe version of that story where the Real Books are full of the mid-70’s compositions of Anthony Braxton.These pieces from the 23 series or the 40 series look like they could be in the Real Book. They fit on one page. You can improvise on them in ways that aren’t totally foreign to mainstream jazz practice. They should be in the Real Book. Now that I’m the teacher who sends the students to the virtual luggage store, these are the compositions that I’m hoping they’ll find. This record is evidence of what happens when people find them, when they make the connection. -Ted ReichmanFronk by Raef SenguptaEverybody’s Doing It and Alt-Center by Phillip GolubMarquis 8 and Of the Trellis by Mario Layne Fabrizio23c, 23e, 40o, 40b, 23h, and 6i by Anthony BraxtonSpecial thanks to Joe Morris, Ted Reichman, and Ruth Lepson
