Peter Brotzmann May Be Gone But He Still Wants to Kill Yo Mama

Read "Peter Brotzmann May Be Gone But He Still Wants to Kill Yo Mama" reviewed by Patrick Burnette


At Mike's suggestion, we devote an episode to the recently departed European avant-garde powerhouse Peter Brotzmann. The sound quality is a bit off. Pat says he forgot to press “record."

Moss Freed / Union Division: Micromotives

Read "Micromotives" reviewed by John Sharpe


A question any composer for improvisers must face is whether they can create something more worthwhile than what they might come up with if left to themselves. It can be a tough call.
