Frode Gjerstad and Peter Br: Soria Boria

Read "Soria Boria" reviewed by Rex  Butters


European wind wonders and frequent collaborators Frode Gjerstad and Peter Brötzmann bring their glacier-melting intensity to this intimate collection of clarinet duos.

Read "Medicina" reviewed by AAJ Staff

To call someone “country" is to say they are simple or at the very least not urbane. But I think Neil Young was speaking more of organics and getting ...

Peter Brotzmann Tentet Kraftbrau Brewery Kalamazoo, MI June 16, 2002 Not being a musician I can only surmise what musical challenges composing for and performing with a mid-sized jazz ensemble pose. Everyone knows how Miles Davis dealt with some of those musical issues in the nonet as he, ...
