WE ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING TO SAVE YOU MONEY AND WE ALWAYS SHIP WITH TRACKING. YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY!

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.

• Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton - reeds

Anthony Braxton is known for naming his pieces as diagrams, typically labeled with numbers and/or letters. The titles can themselves be musical notation indicating to the performer how a piece should be played. Sometimes the letters are identifiable as the initials of Braxton's friends and musical colleagues.

Braxton has pointedly refused to explain their significance, claiming that he himself is still discovering their meaning. Braxton eventually settled on a system of opus-numbers to make referring to these pieces simpler.   Earlier pieces have had opus-numbers retroactively added to them.
