Peter Br: More Nipples

Read "More Nipples" reviewed 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

Read "Balls" reviewed 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 ...

Peter Br: Balls

Read "Balls" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. So too, is delicacy. One man's swirling maelstrom of free jazz is another's meditative moment. For Peter Brötzmann, the saxophonist often at the center of that whirlpool of sound, serenity can be found in and between the surges of energy. In the late ...

Peter Br: Short Visit to Nowhere & Broken English

Read "Short Visit to Nowhere & Broken English" reviewed by Derek Taylor


To the unaccustomed ear large-scale free jazz can easily sound like wanton noise. The very nature of free interplay, where close and rapid-fire listening on the part of the participants is a necessity, seems counterintuitive to settings populous with players. Perhaps that's why so much of the music is the province of smaller ensembles. Considering the ...

Peter Br: For Adolphe Sax

Read "For Adolphe Sax" reviewed by Derek Taylor


Contrary to its attendant acclaim, Peter Brötzmann's seminal Machine Gun was not the German's debut recording as a leader. That historic honor belongs to what many perhaps still consider a perverse homage to his principle instrument's inventor, also originally circulated on the FMP imprint. Both the Panzer intensity and stentorian belligerence are securely in place on ...

Peter Br: For Adolphe Sax

Read "For Adolphe Sax" reviewed by Mark Corroto


With all the historical references to the 1967 recording For Adolphe Sax aside, this session burns with a passion for life and indefatigalbe vigor for musicmaking, as fresh as any working unit in jazz today. The systematic rediscovery and rerelease of long out-of-print free jazz by Atavistic's Unheard Music Series reassembles a roadway linking creative musicians ...
