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".Yanow, S., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-the-tradition-vol-2-mw0000199848 Allmusic Review], accessed March 17, 2015
