Braxton, Anthony, 1945-
Anthony Braxton was born in 1945 and grew up on Chicago’s South Side. Braxton began his saxophone studies under Jack Gell, who also taught Henry Threadgill. In 1963, Braxton attended Wilson Junior College, now Kennedy-King, in Chicago. A fertile ground for jazz experimentation, Wilson Junior College offered Braxton new musical outlets.
In 1963, Braxton joined the army and was stationed with the Fifth Army Band in the northern suburbs of Chicago, which allowed him to continue his music studies in the city. In 1965, he went to South Korea and played with the Eighth Army Band all the while keeping up with the recordings of free jazz pioneers Albert Ayler and John Coltrane.
