Peter Brotzmann has been a musical force of nature and culture and wild humanity for half a decade or more, playing a varitey of reed instruments. He was a pioneering European free jazz performer in the late 1960s and has never let up or looked back. Along the way, he has recorded a number of solo performances. This, however, is different. He plays only tenor saxophone.Although his fire power is evident on a few cuts, this recording is more tender and affecting than previous solo works. You will hear a journeyman of free jazz reach deep to find an almost fragile beauty, born of age and experience and love.As a long-time listener of Herr Brotzmann's work, I savor this lyrical and beautiful recording.
