Once a regular visitor to Vienna, he’s only played here once this year, at Porgy & Bess in February, which of course I missed. Peter Brötzmann seems to have rather fallen off my radar of late. Trading squally sax for sheets of guitar noise as their front end, the bassist and drummer provided a dense underpinning for the lead instruments’ wild and disorderly conduct. It’s a measure of the Swiss rhythm section’s skill and versatility that they sounded just as right for Caspar as they always have for Peter.
#PETER BROTZMANN SHORT VISIT TO NOWHERE FULL#
In what was a rather nice alignment, the saxophonist played there last October with his longstanding Full Blast group of Marino Pliakas on electric bass and Michael Wertmüller on drums and then, almost exactly a year later, Pliakas and Wertmüller showed up at the same venue with Brötzmann’s guitarist son Caspar as No Home. I never got around to reviewing Peter Brötzmann‘s concert at the Chelsea last year, but now I have a good excuse to rectify the omission.

As usual, I find myself way behind with writing for this blog at the end of the year.
