Subject: Re: quartet recommendations
I'll third the picks mentioned before, and add:
The great Anthony Braxton quartet, with Crispell, Dresser, and Hemmingway - OK, can't count it if we're only including active quartets, but it has to go on any modern avant list... (Also a great trio without Braxton that still makes occasional appearances.)
Franz Koglmann's Monoblue Quartet, with Tony Coe, Burkhard Stangl, and Peter Herbert.
Sylvie Courvoiser Quartet, with Eric Friedlander, Coung Vu, and Mike Sarin.
David S Ware Quartet - albeit weaker now without Susie Ibarra.
Old and New Dreams - another defunct modern avant classic, but certainly a must-hear for Masada lovers.
Los Straitjackets (oops! - wandered in from the surf thread ;-) )
