In the Tradition Volume 2 is an album by American saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton recorded in 1974 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label in 1976.[1][2][3][4] The album features Braxton's interpretations of jazz standards and followed the first volume recorded at the same sessions which was released in 1974.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Braxton pays tribute to each song's melody before making his abstract improvisations; the rhythm section mostly ignores what he plays. A short "Duet" (which teams the leader with Pedersen) is a change-of-pace and much freer. These two records are historical curiosities but feature much less interaction between the trio and Anthony Braxton than one would hope".[5]
