by
Bill Laswell
A more than adequate overview of Bill Laswell's work at Celluloid, where he successfully blurred the division lines between hip-hop, rap, reggae, African music, jazz, and avant-garde, this two-CD anthology includes his work as a producer as well as solo and band recordings. Laswell displays both his strengths and weaknesses (brilliant bass playing ...

Last Exit
Another live set from the 1986 tour, Köln could well be the best of the bunch. There is an actual song here (Ronald Shannon Jackson's aptly titled "Brain Damage") and an opening track, the nearly 20-minute rumble called "Hard School," that scorches from top to bottom. This recording was supposed to come after Cassette Recordings '87 and before ...

by
Peter Brötzmann
Brotzmann assembled a fine, multinational nonet for this date and the results, while falling short of his efforts with other mid-size bands, is still enjoyable. The title piece, which occupies the bulk of the recording, is indeed based around a horn motif imitating the sound of an air-raid siren. The score for the composition serves as the cover ...

Peter Brötzmann & Albert Mangelsdorff
This chapter in Atavistic's Unheard Music Series is the CD issue of a 1982 album by saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff, and drummer Günter "Baby" Sommer. There is an interesting contrast of styles here, given the formalist tradition Mangelsdorff came from and the staunch vanguardism of Brötzmann and Sommer. Of course, ...

Vanguard saxophonist Peter Brötzmann has continually insisted that a 1969 session he recorded for FMP with Evan Parker (saxophones), Derek Bailey (guitar), Fred Van Hove (piano), Buschi Niebergall (bass), and Han Bennink (drums) yielded more material than was originally issued. A CD version of Nipples was re-released by Atavistic in its amazing ...

Thanks to Atavistic and its truly treasured Unheard Music Series , we finally have the Complete Machine Gun Sessions as recorded in 1968.

Sacred Scrape/Secret Response pairs the searing Peter Brötzmann with two Cecil Taylor Unit alumni: the versatile William Parker on bass and Gregg Bendian on percussion. As with most Brötzmann records, the listener should not expect any standards or ballads. Instead, look forward to some of the most intense and passionate reedwork available on ...

Subtitled "A Suite in Breathless Motion Dedicated to Oscar Wilde," Nothing to Say is a remarkably mature solo recording that documents numerous aspects of Brotzmann's approach, not just that of fire-breathing bellower. While his basic attitude had remained as absolutely impassioned and committed as it had ever been, by the '90s, Brotzmann, now ...

This 1998 recording by the duo of super-lunged saxophonist Peter Brötzman and percussionist Gunter Sommer with bassist supérieur Barre Phillips entering later was a reunion from the Total Music Meetings of the early '80s.

In perhaps the most understated performance of his entire career, German saxophone giant Peter Brötzmann played in a trio with American free jazz legends Fred Hopkins and Rashied Ali back in 1991 at the now mythical Total Music Meeting. This "meeting" was designed to level the playing field between musicians on both sides of the Atlantic who ...

A monument of post-free solo reeds playing and a stunning item in Peter Brötzmann's discography, 14 Love Poems is arguably the German saxophonist and clarinetist's strongest, most compelling solo statement.

Listeners who only know Brotzmann through his early Sturm und Drang masterworks like Machine Gun and Nipples or with his full-throttle contributions to the free/metal band Last Exit might be surprised at the reticence displayed on much of this solo recording. Most assuredly, there's some fire breathing to be found, but there are also more deep and ...

The title of this disc translates roughly as "as we live, so we play," and in the case of these two hardy veterans of the European free jazz scene, one hardly doubts it.

Here, it begins with Hamid Drake on frame drum ...
