After an extraordinary three-day residency at Café Oto earlier in the year Peter Brotzmann is back with his trio Full Blast. If that wasn't enough we have got one very special secret guest to be revealed nearer the time!
Since the sixties Brotzmann has been one of the most important and uncompromising figures in free Jazz working with everyone from Don Cherry to Keiji Haino. Brotzmann first trained as a painter and was associated with Fluxus before teaching himself the saxophone and establishing himself as one of the most powerful and original players around.
In this trio his associates are bassist Marino Pliakas (Switzerland/Greece) and drummer Michael Wertmueller (Switzerland/Germany).
Here’s what people have been saying about Full Blast;
“ ...Brötzmann’s current trio consolidates his position on the front line of possibilities... Peter Brötzmann, the big bad wolf of jazz, came to London, and he huffed and he puffed and he blew your house down. A standing ovation coaxes the clearly exhausted trio back to the stage ." - (Sunday Times, London Jazzfestival)
“FULL BLAST frequently conjures the essence of Brotzmann's landmark early Free recording "MACHINE GUN" in it's visceral intensity. Herr Brö himself refers to FULL BLAST as "THE TRIO" - (Atavistic)
"There was nothing to do but surrender to this amazing performance, expressing the artist's total, uncompromising belief in the sheer physical power of sound to transform the listener—tons of deafening yet paradoxically blissful sounds that keep me smiling even now when I think about this exceptional trio. "Will the music ever end?" Not when played at this intensity!" - (Eyal Hareuveni, All About Jazz)
“ ...for you to sink your ears into over and over again. This is free music at its best: fire, fun, and further exploration of the heretofore unknown." - (Tom Jurek, whole review: All Music Guide)
“ ...God bless European audiences." - (JazzTimes)
“...Berlin’s greatest underground jazz party since years." - (Christian Broecking, TaZ)
“NYC performance of the Year 2007" - (All About Jazz New York)
