Herein a selection of works by the late Peter Brötzmann in collaboration with a variety of international luminaries. Needless to say there’s no way a figure of this stature can be squeezed into such a small space as this, but I have tried to represent as much as possible the breadth and diversity of Brötzmann’s work over the years, with a focus on relatively recent recordings, as I do very much believe he was only improving with age. This music needs volume and attention.
