... those wishing perhaps to witness a “softer” side of brötz (it exists, trust me) could do worse than investigate herein ; with the wind rushing through trees overhead, the babble of a nearby brook, and the constant chorus of avian “backup singers,” the pair do a great job at invoking a certain “natural freedom” that’s all but lacking in their otherwise corrosive and/or caustic sides ...

november 2011 release ; ... going backwards again, here’s fmp 0020 (only the second lp on the label) offering four discrete “compositions” by brötzmann, van hove, & bennink, realized by the trio (with a focused arsenal of just tenor, piano, and drums - although han does get in a bit of almost balaphon-like flourish on his “gachi” ; listen to the sound-sample) in the studio on august 17th, 1970 ...

... the raw fury captured on the brötzmann octet’s “machine gun” just a few years prior is still very much aflame ; the high levels of energy & studio mischief make this one of the more storied sessions from those halcyon days of the early european free jazz / improv wave ...

november 2011 release ; ... zigging back to fmp 0230, the second in the cien fuegos reissue series reprodcuces this 1975 lp by the trio of brötzmann, fred van hove, and han, heard in the studio & at berlin’s storied “quartier latin” on september 13th & 14th, 1975 ...

van hove’s accordion diversions are a treat (not so much his vocals on the mercifully terse closing number) as are han’s detours into more “sculptural” avenues (yes, he’s “playing” the floors, the walls, probably leaves the studio for a bit for a bike ride, keeps “playing” far off-mic) & brötz’s deep outer-bass saxophone riddling(s) at tail-end of the b-side are just dynamite ...

peter brötzmann / han bennink “ein halber hund kann nicht pinkeln” long playing record

  • musik am abend • 1-5 (21:17)

  • musik am nachmittag • 1-5 (23:00)
november 2011 release ; ... just what i needed to break out of the slump of sub-par novice micro-korg dabblings (give me expert micro-korg dabblings any day of the week, i’m down) :: a series of pitch-perfect reissues of classic fmp sides, done in the proper “boutique” spec, recreating the (always amazing ; almost moreso than his playing, i’ve long admired brotzmann’s design sensibilities, merging punk-like block-print texts with high-contrast photography, often of his paintings and/or brutalist, post-brancusi sculptures) original covers & adding not a damn thing to the already-perfect look / feel / sound of the things (well, other than contemporary mastering & record pressing ; improvements both) ...

... originally issued by gebers as fmp 0420 in 1977, this lp features brötzmann & bennink as recorded first at a “workshop at the akademie” on april 8th & 9th 1977, then in concert at “quartier latin” on march 26th & 27th the same year ... han makes his debut here on guitar (or maybe banjo ? hard to tell ... sounds not unlike a sonny sharrock / syd barrett hybrid either way ; listen to the sound-sample) before switching to piano, then finally to drums ; brötzmann limits his palette largely to saxophone & clarinet, sticking mostly to upper-register, bit-reed embouchures (that said, there’s a fair bit of growl, esp. when he switches to bass clarinet) ...

the music is hot, fiery, on fire, & blazing ... heat-oriented. occasionally light, whimsical, even, but mostly going directly for the jugular ... fan-fucking tastic.
