| Brotzmann and Bennink at the Vision Club On Friday, October. 6 The Vision Club, NY, will present a powerhouse duo: saxophonist Peter Brotzmann and drummer Han Bennink. The two free music masters have a long history, first in Brotzmann's large projects, notably the 1968 Machine Gun. A trio with Belgian pianist Fred Van Hove grew out of these collaborations. But in 1976, the two free music masters began work as a duo, releasing a series of recordings, concluding with 1980's Atsugi Concert. They weren't heard from again "on wax" until Brotzmann booked a series of performances in early 2004 with the explicit intention of capturing the performances for later release. The result, Still Popular After All Those Years, was issued on vinyl on Brotzmann's own resurrected BRO label later that same year. On Saturday, October 7 The Vision Club will present the premier performance of the unique collective, featuring an irresistible combination of avantJazz masters: Marshall Allen (alto sax & E.V.I. - Electronic Valve Instrument), William Parker (bass, donson ghoni and double reeds), and the multi-instrumentalist Cooper Moore (percussion). The second set will be the same group with the addition of special guest, premier trumpet player Roy Campbell. With such a surprising collective of versatile artists, we can only hope that this will be the first of many performances. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
