The veteran avant gardist has lost none of his intensity with two sets showcasing the full light and shade of his fearsome improvisational playing
Obviously an instrument is nothing without its player but even an accomplished performance is less about authority than a dialogue between human and machine.
I was a mere 17 at the time and in a weekend filled with epiphanies, Peter Brotzmann and Han Bennink's duel was by far writ starkest upon my fragile teenage mind.
In the midst of a performance last night at the Embrace Church on North Limestone that was playful in the most unobvious sense of the word, Peter Brotzmann and Jason Adasiewicz performed like they had set up shop in the eye of a hurricane.
