10 Compositions (Duet) 1995, also released as Duets (1995), is a live album by composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton with bassist Joe Fonda, recorded at Wesleyan University in 1995 and originally released on the Konnex label.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Chris Kelsey stated: This is Anthony Braxton doing what he does best -- playing and improvising on his own idiosyncratic small-group compositions, this time in duet with bassist Joe Fonda. The two also have a go at a pair of standards, which come off as well as one might expect -- you either love or hate the way Braxton interprets traditional material -- but they are heard to best advantage on the several originals written by each. ... This album is a small, rough-cut gem from the mine of available Braxton recordings.
On All About Jazz Troy Collins said:On this meeting Braxton and Fonda share ample space. Each comments on the tunes in tandem without dominating the roiling, circuitous interplay. A brilliant program addressing all aspects of the jazz tradition, Duets 1995 is a solid representation of Braxton's all-encompassing aesthetic and a wonderful introduction to an enigmatic and often misunderstood genius.
