For separate sides of Anthony Braxton, I'd say that Eight (+3) Tristano Compositions will show his most conventional sounding, Elements of Surprise will show his abstract jazz melodies, and Beyond Quantum will bring out the genius free jazz. There really is no wrong place to start but I think that those will do you fine. Fancy a few links?
