Peter Brotzmann/Keiji Haino/Jim O'Rourke: Two City Blues 2
by Mark Corroto
The music of legendary jazz saxophonist Peter Brötzmann is at its finest when the great man has something to push against. Typically these performances find him collaborating with drummers like Hamid Drake, Paal Nilssen-Love, Steve Noble, or Nasheet Waits. The music is built upon a power-versus-power formula.

Music preview: Saxophone and trumpet duo travel beyond the jazz code
By Manny Theiner Chicago saxophonist Ken Vandermark is one of the most persuasive, personified arguments for why every state’s liquor laws should be amended to allow minors to attend concerts if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
