"Brötzmann, the tenor sax player, one of the greatest alive." - Bill Clinton (former President of the United States of America), when asked by the Oxford American to name a musician people would be surprised he listened to. Peter Brötzmann, a grand and old master of European Free Jazz, has created a body of music that is considered amongst the most influential and pioneering of the 20th and early 21st centuries - for example Machine Gun (1968) or most recently Full Blast with Michael Wertmüller and Marino Pliakas. Brötzmann's recording presented here, made in collaboration with the Munich ICI Ensemble, consciously alternates between the intimacy of contemporary chamber music and virtuosic brilliance - brought together within a large-scale form designed as if agreed upon in advance, yet nonetheless created purely out of the present moment.
