Brotzmann's Chicago Tentet, 2004, "Be Music, Night"
Peter Brotzmann's Chicago Tentet combines some of the finest avant improvisers out of Chicago and Europe. For a such a logistically and musically complex multi-member outfit they've had a rather long and significant life. And they still flourish today, as witnessed by their recent European tour. We turn the clock back to 2004, and a Tentet ...

Fred Van Hove: Piano Solo
by Mark Corroto
Belgian pianist Fred Van Hove has always been identified with the European free music movement, but he also stands outside the cadre of players that formed the FMP label. This rerelease (first time on CD) of two solo LPs, Prosper (1981) and Die Letzte (1986), reaffirm his personality and uniqueness as an improvising player.

Mark O'Leary / Peter Friis-Nielsen / Stefan Pasborg: Stoj
by Mark Corroto
In the aptly named Guerilla Series, for Ayler Records, this trio does, indeed, fight a “little war," recording this limited release (400 copies) as a hit-and-run ambush of destruction and noise. Støj is quite surprising for O'Leary, whose previous outings found him detailing more muted sounds with the likes of Supersilent on St. ...
The Resonance Ensemble: Kafka in Flight
by Mark Corroto

With this 10-man group, he succeeds in what he works so very hard at with the Vandermark 5. Like V5, his working band, he is ...
Peter Brötzmann: Wolk In Hosen
by Mark Corroto
In a blindfold test--and not knowing he was but 11 years old when this solo session was recorded in 1976--the sound heard on Wolk In Hosen might be mistaken for that of Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson. But no, it is, indeed, Gustafsson's hero and musical role model, the fire-breathing Peter Brötzmann. Also released as ...

Ballister: Bastard String
by Mark Corroto
There is something special about watching jugglers perform. It is a marvel how the juggler can seemingly interrupt the laws of gravity at will, keeping balls (or chainsaws) suspended through sheer tenacity. Such it is when listening to Ballister perform the three lengthy improvised pieces on Bastard String.As the juggler doesn't rely on willpower to ...
