Peter Brötzmann at the Vision Festival Reviewed

June 10, 2011 — Mike

Peter Brötzmann

From NYTimes.com:

Peter Brötzmann was that person this year: the recipient of a Vision Festival lifetime achievement honor and the main attraction at the Abrons Arts Center on Wednesday night. A German saxophonist with a history of Stateside collaboration, Mr. Brötzmann is famous — insofar as any European free-jazz musician can be famous — for a hardheaded, fulminating style devoid of any trace of bathos. Trying to describe it sends you grasping for overheated metaphors: blowtorches, hellfires, certain Congressional libidos.
