Peter Br: For Adolphe Sax
by Derek Taylor
Contrary to its attendant acclaim, Peter Brötzmann's seminal Machine Gun was not the German's debut recording as a leader. That historic honor belongs to what many perhaps still consider a perverse homage to his principle instrument's inventor, also originally circulated on the FMP imprint. Both the Panzer intensity and stentorian belligerence are securely in place on ...
Peter Br: For Adolphe Sax
by Mark Corroto
With all the historical references to the 1967 recording For Adolphe Sax aside, this session burns with a passion for life and indefatigalbe vigor for musicmaking, as fresh as any working unit in jazz today. The systematic rediscovery and rerelease of long out-of-print free jazz by Atavistic's Unheard Music Series reassembles a roadway linking creative musicians ...
Peter Br: Fuck De Boere
by Ludwig vanTrikt
I am hoping that German saxophonist Peter Brötzmann will be given his just due one day as an avant-garde Godhead. Maybe, just maybe, in the same fashion that saw the late mainstream hornman, Joe Henderson, become a reluctant icon, although past his prime playing. This two concert CD documents Peter Brötzmann in the malestorm of like-minded ...
Peter Br: Fuck De Boere
by Derek Taylor
Leaving little room for equivocal interpretation, the title of this disc doesn't mince words and is totally indicative of the kind of antagonistic music symbolized by its imperative. As Brötzmann explains in the terse block prose of the sleeve notes the sentiment was gleaned from his many conversations with South African expatriate bassist Johnny Dyani who ...
Peter Br: Right As Rain
by Derek Taylor
In the late spring of 2000, while in the midst of grueling tour with his tentet, Peter Brötzmann received some sobering news. Werner Lüdi, saxophonist, fellow improviser, and friend had passed away. Lüdi had been an infrequent collaborator of Brötzmann's over the years but the two men shared an endemic musical vision as early insurgents in ...
Peter Br: Nipples
by Mark Corroto
Out of print for nearly 30 years, Nipples is showing itself (sorry) once again. The collector's dream Euro free jazz LP made it to CD thanks to writer/musician John Corbett's Unheard Music series for the Atavistic label. Along with other lost and unreleased gems, Corbett is bringing to light historically significant recordings by artists, some popular ...
Peter Br: Nipples
by Derek Taylor
Talk about the rarest of the rare. This disc, another glorious entry on John Corbett's new Unheard series, unearths one of the most whispered and wondered about documents of the then burgeoning European improvisers union. It stands alongside such other cardinal classics as Brötzmann's Machine Gun as an aural manifesto of entire musical movement first carved ...
Peter Br: Live in Japan 1982
by Derek Taylor
Improvised Company is a new label created by Kouichi Ohshima to bring to light past recordings by legendary German improviser Peter Brötzmann. Ohshima's affection for Brötzmann's music is apparent not only in this beautifully rendered release, which features an exquisite hand-printed silk-screen cover; but also in a recent book he's published documenting the German's expansive discography. ...
