Peter Br: FMP 130
by Jay Collins
Without a doubt, the cooperative consisting of saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, pianist Fred Van Hove and drummer Han Bennink is one of the most celebrated, if not the most influential, free improv trios in Europe. Recorded for FMP three years after the group's astonishing and portentous 1970 debut, Balls, this accurately titled record, known as FMP 130, ...
Peter Br: More Nipples
by Jerry D'Souza
For all those who have played Nipples and enjoyed doing so, the fact that there are More Nipples should come as joy exemplified. Saxophonist Peter Brötzmann thought that the three tunes from 1969 which make up this record were discarded, but they were discovered last year by FMP founder Jost Gebers. Glory be to that moment, ...
Peter Br: The Ink is Gone
by Clifford Allen
In jazz, surprise meetings often produce some of the greatest results. On paper, the duo of Anthony Braxton and Max Roach might look a little strange, ditto the two-tenor front line of Archie Shepp and Hank Mobley. When successful, these meetings can be, like the old cliché, peanut butter and jelly. Thankfully, the crusts remain on ...
Peter Br: Balls

Following on the heels of European Echoes, Balls was the second release by the German FMP label; it remains one of the great documents of Peter Brötzmann's core late-sixties/early-seventies trio with pianist Fred Van Hove and drummer Han Bennink. At the time of the recording, the trio had been playing together for some time, including forming ...

Br: Never Too Late But Always Too Early
by Derek Taylor
Die Like a Dog: a name and invective that acts as a slap in the face to the mores of subtlety and passivity. Peter Brötzmann originally convened the group as a channeling vessel for the spirit of Ayler. Their music: lamenting the legendary saxophonist?s tailspin into spiritual decay and destitution. Their credo: a staunch defiance of ...
Peter Br: More Nipples
by Derek Taylor
Something of a boon for Brötzophiles, the Unheard Music Series has reissued no less than a half dozen slices of his early oeuvre since its inception. A large chunk of the material dates from the German reed-splitter's Machine Gun phase when his anti-establishment urges found their zenith in that anti-establishment musical milestone for FMP. The contemporaneous ...
Br: Balls
by Derek Taylor
Balls veritably screams Sixties-style counter-culture confrontationalism. Check Bennink's gaunt pale frame, shirtless and head shaven close, standing sternly with his mates on the front cover. Or Brötzmann's hunched visage on the reverse, tenor clutched tightly in vice-grip, caught in mid-renal shout. Then there's Van Hove, sleeves rolled up, bent over the innards of his piano, almost ...
