Peter Brötzmann/Full Blast: Risc
by Mark Corroto
The Full Blast trio of saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, Marino Pliakas, and Michael Wertmüller get an injection of fervency with the electronics of Gerd Rische. As if they needed any more ferocity.

Mats Gustafsson: MG50 Peace & Fire
by Mark Corroto
Mats Gustafsson at fifty. Name another artist who has had this significant and widespread effect on jazz, noise, free improvisation, alternative rock, electronica, and free jazz.

Insalata d'ance dal duo al quartetto: Gebhard Ullmann e dintorni
by Alberto Bazzurro

Nella fattispecie, lo troviamo coinvolto in tre recenti album (in un caso come ...

Something old, something new, something reissued, something Brötzmann blew.
by Mark Corroto
Can the entire history of a musical genre be encoded in one man's DNA? If that is possible, then reading the DeoxyriboNucleic Acid molecules in saxophonist Peter Brötzmann's body would yield all the information a musical scientist studying the development of free jazz would require. Since the 1960s, he has been in the center of the ...

by Mark Corroto
The aptly named release Diachronic Paths by the free improvising duo of Keir Neuringer and Rafal Mazur continues the transformation discourses of their evolving musical language.

The Virtues of Jazz
by Douglas Groothuis
Any jazz aficionado knows the musical virtues of jazz, whether they are a musician, a jazz writer, or simply a committed jazz listener.
