Anthony Braxton's collaboration with composer/percussionist Gino Robair, Duets (1987), features pieces written by both musicians, separately and collaboratively. Braxton's and Robair's intricate, layered approaches to playing complement each other on this collection of innovative avant-jazz works, such as "Improvisation and Prelude" and "Ballad for the Children." - Heather Phares
