Five Compositions (Quartet) 1986

Five Compositions (Quartet) 1986 is an album by American saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton recorded in 1986 for the Italian Black Saint label.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook awarded the album 4½ stars stating "By the time of this mid-'80s quartet date, Braxton was just starting to get better compensated for his music and was also formalizing his heady compositional formula; this advance was helped along considerably by his stellar quartet... Knotty music to be sure, but some of Braxton's most rewarding".
