3 Compositions of New Jazz is the debut album by Anthony Braxton released in 1968 on the Delmark label.[1] [2] [3] It features performances by Braxton, violinist Leroy Jenkins and trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith with pianist Muhal Richard Abrams appearing on two tracks.[4]
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated: "This is a long and tough listen, but it's a light one in comparison to For Alto. And make no mistake: It is outrageously forward-thinking, if not—arguably—downright visionary. Braxton's 3 Compositions of New Jazz is an essential document of the beginning of the end".[5]
Recorded at Sound Studios, Chicago, March 27 (track 1) and April 10 (tracks 2–3), 1968
