RIP Peter Brötzmann

2023-06-23 by I AM NOT ZIG | 18 Comments
German musician Peter Brötzmann, considered one of the most prominent saxophonists in free jazz, died on Thursday at the age of 82, his agent confirmed to Deutschlandfunk Kultur radio.

In March, the saxophonist collapsed upon returning from performances in Warsaw and London, which required resuscitation and intensive care, which kept him from the stage at that time, according to a post on Facebook.

In the 1960's, he released the remarkable "Machine Gun", still ranked as one of the most relevant records of the genre. Brötzmann's discography is as extensive as the list of musicians he has played with, ranging from Evan Parker to Anthony Braxton, Keiji Haino or Ronald Shannon Jackson, Sonny Sharock and Bill Laswell, with whom he formed the group Last Exit.

He lived a long rich life and created so much challenging and subversive art. A king.

Being called an avantgardist a few years back, Peter Brötzmann answered: "I hate being called an avantgardist, avantgardists should be 24 not fucking 74." (roughly translated from german) RIP

Last year he collaborated with Oxbow for a live album and I loved his contributions.
