Now widely distributed for the first time on DVD, and deservedly so, the hour-long documentary should appeal to anyone wanting an insight into the whats, whys and hows of the music known as free jazz...

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...

A run through 'Senor Blues', the Horace Silver tune. No vocals – just instrumental. An insistent bass figure builds the spine of the piece before the ensemble comes in. Trumpet solo – Blue Mitchell. Some high stepping and...
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...
