In the Tradition is an album by American saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton recorded in 1974 and released on the Dutch SteepleChase label.[1][2][3][4] The album features Braxton's interpretations of jazz standards and was followed by a second volume recorded at the same sessions which was released in 1976.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The great avant-gardist Anthony Braxton threw the jazz world a curve with this album. ...A historical curiosity, this set is not as essential as Braxton's explorations of his own music".[5]
