For Alto

For Alto is a solo alto saxophone album by Anthony Braxton that presents extended free improvisations exploring the instrument's timbral range and unconventional techniques. The recordings consist of long unaccompanied pieces that use multiphonics, overblowing, altissimo registers, breath sounds, and varied articulation to generate dense textures and internal structure without conventional harmonic support. Its emphasis on solo exploration and formal rigor helped broaden notions of what a solo jazz performance could be and influenced later improvisers working with extended techniques.
