RIP Peter Brötzmann (1941 – 2023)
So sadly news is spreading that free jazz saxophonist Peter Brötzmann has passed away. I knew he was recently unwell – but like most, I was hoping that he was on the mend.
Hard to adequately sum up a career that spanned over 50 years with over 300 albums appearances to his name. My first real experience with his music was through the group Last Exit – but that ended up a sliver of his total output and I am still discovering more as a journey down the Brötzmann rabbit hole.
Update: Here is a short but nice obit the The Guardian.
And here’s a very cool live performance that I came across as we say goodbye to another legend.
