Peter Brotzmann: The Complete Machine Gun Sessions
by Troy Collins
An essential recording, Machine Gun's rightful place in the pantheon of seminal free jazz recordings is uncontested. The first major document of European free improvisation, Atavistic's Unheard Music Series reissue supplements the legendary session by bolstering the original album with two alternate takes and the only documented live performance of the furious title track. ...
Peter Br
by Mark Corroto
The milestones of the 66 year old German saxophonist Peter Brötzmann's career are a useful device by which to review his prolific and passionate music making. From early experiments with Alexander von Schlippenbach and the Globe Unity Orchestra, he gained jazz infamy with an octet recording called Machine Gun (FMP, 1968).

by James Taylor
Pica Pica is an all-star affair featuring the trio of Peter Brötzmann (reeds), Albert Mangelsdorff (trombone) and Gunter Sommer (drums), originally recorded in 1982 at Jazzfest Unna in Germany. Dug out of the FMP archives for Atavistic's Unheard Music Series, Pica Pica is now available here in the States. The pairing of Mangelsdorff, an innovator on ...
Peter Brotzmann Group: Alarm
by Nic Jones
Any Brötzmann group utilising material based upon the graphic instructions for a reaction to a nuclear emergency is never going to lack visceral intensity, and this music proves that with megawatts to spare.
