Most fusion is bad music. Because it brings lots of technical skills with little or no creativity, often centered around the guy on the guitar who wants to take on self-proclaimed stardom. There are some rare exceptions of fusion musicians who seek other things. John McLaughlin is a true musician in that sense. He is interested in the music, and his fabulous guitar technique helps him in achieving
BRO C Reuniting after nearly a quarter-century of absence in 2005, the pairing of reedman Peter Br�tzmann and drummer Han Bennink was long a formidable one in European free improvisation. A listing of their appearances from 1968 through 1980...
DEREK BAILEY/EVAN PARKER/HAN BENNINK The Topography Of The Lungs Incus This was the first release on Incus Records, a label co-owned by Bailey and Parker for a while, but then they had some kind of nerdy-British-guy spat. Bailey kept the label, but this record went out of print, and he insisted that it not be reissued during his lifetime. No sooner was he in the ground than Parker reissued it on his...
A fixture on the Boston jazz scene for the past decade, guitarist Eric Hofbauer has collaborated with a multitude of artists, from guitarist Garrison Fewell and multi-reedist Charlie Kohlhase to legendary Dutch drummer Han Bennink (in the international collective, The Blueprint Project). As co-founder of Creative Nation Music (with trombonist Chris Allen), Hofbauer has released a handful of adventurous...
It's been a while but I haven't forgotten about you, my little tribute to music on Fridays. Don't you worry your little head. Unfurrow that brow and turn that frown upside down. Here’s some music hovering around the fringes of jazz:

Introduced on the first track as "der Free Jazz Veteran," Han Bennink lives up to his reputation on this live German festival concert recording. The Clusone Trio of drummer Bennink, wind player Michael Moore and cellist Ernst Reijseger constantly feed off of each other's energy and contribute to form a unique group sound that explores the humorous, the aggressive and the beautiful...
Two-time Grammy-nominated trumpeter Dave Douglas is arguably the most original trumpeter/composer of his generation. From his New York base, where he has lived since the mid 1980s, he has earned lavish national and international critical acclaim, including trumpeter, composer, and jazz "Artist of the Year" by such organizations as the New York Jazz Awards, Down Beat, Jazz Times, Jazziz, and the Italian...
ICP Orchestra: Headed by two Dutch masters, pianist Misha Mengelberg and drummer Han Bennink, the Amsterdam-based ICP Orchestra (Instant Composers Pool) proves that free jazz can be fun. The animated 10-piece ensemble balances Dada-inspired mischief with patches of loose swing. Sept. 1.

Last night, I saw two legends of free jazz, saxophonist Peter Brotzman and drummer Han Bennink . To say these two geezers put on a great show would be something on an understatement, in fact in some ways it is almost beside the point. I've been a big fan of free jazz for a very long time now and having the chance to see Brotzmann was pretty cool. I first heard Brotzmann on Last Exit albums about 15...
On Friday, April 18th, New Haven's Firehouse 12 will present two of the founding fathers of European free jazz, Peter Brotzmann and Han Bennink. First heard together on late- 1960's recordings such as Brotzmann's seminal Machine Gun (FMP), these frequent collaborators have been making music for more than 40 years and working as a duo since 1976. This two-set performance is part of a rare two-week American...
Legendary Free Music Duo in a rare US Tour "Few modern saxophonists can sound as powerfully abrasive as Mr. Brotzmann, and few drummers can seem as convincingly unhinged as Mr. Bennink. Each is a pillar of the European free-improvising scene, and a touchstone for the rambunctious wing of the contemporary avant-garde." -New York Times 2006...
