I don't know the Crispell Kitchen concert. The Anthony Braxton Piano Quartet recordings are... interesting. Braxton's piano style kind of comes out of both Dave Brubeck and Cecil Taylor, and it can be very jarring in the context of an otherwise straightahead session. Ehrlich is his usual completely dependable self. The Leo releases are both 2CD sets and might be expensive, the 4CD Music and Arts set from Yoshi's even more so. If you're at all timid about the expenditure, you can always sample the quintet release on Knitting Factory Records, 'Seven Standards 1995,' which is co-billed with Mario Pavone. No Ehrlich, but you do get Thomas Chapin, Dave Douglas and Pheeroan akLaff.
