Peter Br: FMP 130

Read "FMP 130" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

22 years hence, these European masters have pretty well cemented themselves in their own corners of the free improv universe: the fury, sometimes restrained, of Peter Brötzmann; the madness of Han Bennink; and the elegant wandering of Fred van Hove. But when they got together in Bremen on February 25, 1973, it was with a sense ...

Peter Br: Signs

Read "Signs" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Woodwind multi-instrumentalist Peter Brötzmann has never been one to shy away from extremes in a career that has spanned nearly forty years and nearly a hundred albums. He has been one of the strongest proponents to emerge from the Albert Ayler school of musical thought. While he's capable of extracting an incredible array of sounds from ...

Peter Br: Still Quite Popular After All Those Years

Read "Still Quite Popular After All Those Years" reviewed by Alexander Vogel

by Alexander Vogel

It has been 24 years since these two musicians have engaged in a duo, or any other musical collaboration. The musical association of German multi-woodwind stalwart Peter Brötzmann with ever-eccentric Dutch drummer Han Bennink can be dated back to 1968, perhaps earlier. Together with Brötzman's octet, they would release one of the most overwhelming albums in ...

Br: Medicina

Read "Medicina" reviewed by Rex  Butters

by Rex Butters

Medicina further documents Peter Brötzmann's volcanic creativity, here in a trio with veteran collaborators Peeter Uuskyla on drums and Peter Friis Nielsen on electric bass. While recent recordings have shown the Teutonic Tornado varying his attack with a relatively gentle touch, Medicina is pure balls-out Brötzmann, except for a ballad and his lyrical intro to “Hard ...

Peter Br

Read "Peter Br" reviewed by Clifford Allen

by Clifford Allen

Peter Brötzmann is probably more famous (or infamous) for his lung power and ability to break a rib blowing a bass saxophone than for his ability to direct a truly cooperative group and extend a multitude of concepts over several bands. A contemporary of and heir to Frank Wright, power is not out of the question ...

Br: Medicina

Read "Medicina" reviewed by Alexander Vogel

by Alexander Vogel

Peter Brötzmann is a German saxophonist who has explored the intense and dissonant worlds of jazz. Many critics claim that his pinnacle recording was with his octet in the 1968 session Machine Gun, one of the loudest, most intense and just plain frightening jazz albums of all time. Even the loudest metal bands cannot match its ...
