Description
This cooperative trio released a number of albums for FMP in the late '60s and early '70s, and affords the listener a chance to hear a lighter, more playful side of Peter Brötzmann, whose reputation is derived from more extreme and assaultive sessions such as Machine Gun and Nipples. Surely part of this approach is due to the antic nature of percussionist Han Bennink, who, whether playing his drum set or the studio floor, accordions or clarinets, rarely fails to inject wit and sly humor into the proceedings. Tschus is arranged almost as a suite of shorter works, some having a relatively straight jazz and blues nature, others edging into the investigation of pure sound as championed by groups such as AMM. Van Hove's clear, supple piano playing often serves as the bridge between Brötzmann's wilder stylings and Bennink's (often literally) off-the-wall punctuations. Brötzmann's bass sax work on "Bierhaus Wendel" is lush and creamy, especially in conjunction with Van Hove's accordion. The album ends with a charmingly schmaltzy vocal rendition of the title cut, featuring Brötzmann's crooning over the strangled bird cries produced (who knows how?) by Bennink and Van Hove's cocktail piano. This alone is worth the price of admission. ~ Brian Olewnick
Cover and vinyl are both in Very Good condition.
This week I'm selling all my old vinyl featuring Peter Brötzmann, mostly on the FMP label and dating back to the early 1970s. Most of these records were purchased new, and remain in very good to excellent condition - I will specify in the listing where any have surface scratches - none have skips or jumps. I've posted rips of some tracks at http://bjorsq.net/fmp/ so you can check out the sound before purchasing - if you have any specific questions about the quality and condition of individual LPs, please contact me.
Next week I'm selling a similar number of records which I have on FMP by other artists. Featured artists include Fred Van Hove, Han Bennink, Bill Laswell, Ronald Shannon Jackson, Sonny Sharrock, Misha Mengelberg, Andrew Cyrille, Albert Mangelsdorff, gunther Sommer, Harrry Miller, Louis Moholo, Alfred 23 Harth, Willi Kellers, Alex Schlippenbach, Willem Breuker, Rudiger Carl, Irene Schweizer and Peter Kowald.
