'Brotzmann Box' is a triple album not to be missed for those who want to know the best of the musical career of one of the most significant interpreters of European free jazz. The musical construction takes shape only when the three musicians play and this makes such music in an ever ending work in progress. The third volume, 'Noise of Wings' (JW 56), is an album of abstract music, without notes, arrangements or pre-set structures, nothing, just musical instruments, ie tenor sax, clarinet and tГЎrogatГі played by BrГ¶tzmann, Peter Friis NielsenвЂ™s electric bass and Peeter UuskylaвЂ™s drums. The music of BrГ¶tzmann (alto and tenor), Bill Laswell (electric guitar, 6-string bass), Sonny Sharrock (guitar), Shannon Jackson (percussion, vocals) is incredible because incredible is the interaction between the four musicians who they reach uncharted sonic territories, writing a new page in the history of free jazz.

The second volume of the box is 'Low Life - Last Exit' (JW 12), an extraordinary record with a great power and conciseness. Peter Brotzmann- Dying Like a Dog, an appreciation. Together these three musicians create a truly unique musical cosmos that lies somewhere between jazz, free jazz, ambient, new music and trash metal. The first volume of the album is 'Full Blast' (JW 1) with BrГ¶tzmann (alto and soprano sax, tГЎrogatГі) playing in a super Swiss-German trio with Marino Pliakas (electric bass), a member of Swiss Steamboat, and Michael Wertmuller (drums), one of the best musiciand of the Berlin music scene and member of the group Alboth.

вЂ“Ronnie вЂњMad DogвЂќ Mercer, from My Fist, Your Face: An Oral History of theВ Los AngelesВ Hardcore Scene (Rip Rock Press, 1993).'Brotzmann Box' is a beautiful box set containing 3 albums by German free jazz master Peter BrГ¶tzmann. The longer I listen, the more hyped up I start to become, and I realize this is giving me the some of the same cranked-up feelings as Twitch CityВ except this time thereВ are no more bottles left to throw.вЂќ But Marco nods his head and sure enough thereвЂ™s this sax making noises like an open wound.В ItвЂ™s noisy andВ menacing and sounds pretty okay. вЂњAt first, it sounds kind of industrial, like ZвЂ™ev or Whitehouse orВ whatever.В And IвЂ™m like, there is no way this is jazz. And IвЂ™m like, what is this, New Order?В Marco says itвЂ™s by some dudes from this band called Last Exit and drops the needle. SoВ Marco pulls out this album called Low Life. He says he knows some jazz dudes whoвЂ™d have jumped into the crowd swinging their saxophones and broken plenty of noses. He says I donвЂ™t know what the fuck IвЂ™m talking about and that jazz is the new hardcore. IвЂ™m sprawled out on his floor and laughing about how jazz musicians are total pussies, when I notice Marco giving me the evil eye. вЂњSo thatвЂ™s when I run into Marco, who lives nearby, and the two of us scramble up the fire escape to his apartment to avoid the cops. This was still pretty common in those days.

People are chanting for Twitch City but some dipshit must have called the pigs because soon there are wailing sirens and swinging billy clubs and overturning tables and weвЂ™re scattering and sprinting into the street to avoid getting cuffed and carted. The rest of them scramВ for the exit, not bothering to grab their instruments. The sax player gets smacked in the nose and collapses on the floor clutching his bloody face. But two seconds later, glass is raining down on the band from all sides. Peter Brotzmann & Bill Laswell Jazzwerkstatt Jazzwerkstatt (label) Jazz (CD, LP) We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought wed offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item. вЂњMaybe this was Twitch CityвЂ™s new idea of cool or maybe they were trying to wind us up with this shitty music, but it wasnвЂ™t ten minutes before the first bottle got thrown. Low Life is a 1987 recording by half of the legendary quartet Last Exit, which was still a fairly new band at the time.For the album, Peter Brtzmann sticks entirely to his bass saxophone while Bill Laswell plays a variety of electric basses and tosses in the odd loop or sound effect. Even Asshole Chuck was playing drums for them again.В My buddies and I swallowed some speed and were grinding our teeth and ready to mosh and scream along to вЂњYou sit inside a bottle and pretend youвЂ™re in a can.вЂќВ So imagine ourВ reaction when we get to theВ club andВ thereвЂ™s some jazz band onВ stage playing some bebopВ bullshit. But mainly I was jacked up to see the Twitch City reunion. вЂњYeah, so maybe I was looking for a fight that night. PB, bass saxophone BL, electric bass, loops, etc.
