The title “Machine Gun” has nothing to do with “obvious” political connections and vietnam war of the time etc etc… it is simply the nick name that Don Cherry was using for Brötzmann during those vibrant years. And the fact that this IS how it originally came out! Put together by Brötzmann himself back in the day.īRÖ 2 … Legendary and for always the BOMB! FMP and Atavistic/ Unheard Music with bonus tracks and all.īUT… this is the one… the first silkscreened one… the feel. This music has been re- released a number of times… on vinyl on FMP and recently on another german label: A – music.

with 3 of the most hard hitting tenor players ever around… and it is a joy to hear the fantastic and very inspired Belgian piano player Fred van Hove in the middle of it all… in the eye of the storm… commenting and contra punctuating the music in way that only he can do.īrötzmann had early the vision of copying the 4 line of sax players in the Lionel Hamptons Big Band, playing in unison as a wall of sound.Īttempts to link this epic recording to Coltranes Ascension or Ornette´s Free Jazz is discarded by Brötzmann, that rather prefer to link his influences to Charles Ives, “Flying Home” by Lionel Hampton and Rock n Roll!!! It is a real treat to listen how the two bass players, Peter Kowald and the mighty mighty Buschi Niebergall, are playing together… moving the music forwards, with some amazingly creative drumming from drum maestros Johansson and Bennink, behind, over and under the ensemble!Ī very sax dominated sound, of course….

The interaction between the eight players are wild and full of energy in all directions. The music continues with some absolute amazingly grim and evil playing by especially Evan Parker, Willem Breuker and Brötzmann himself… the flow is immense!Īnd the “song” is over before you know it. It is a mindblowing experience to get into the free improvisations of the group at the beginning of the starting piece and after a while get transported out through the window, door and sealing at the same time at once- with that massive wall of noise that suddenly hits you like a hurdle of buffalos, mammuts and Alaskian ice trucks all at once… no other way to describe it. The first time you hear it… it is a schock… 2 nd time as well…. The start of the title track is just overwhelming. This in spite of the fact that the shitheads seemed to have the upper hand, with the quagmire of Vietnam, the intractability of the American.
In 1968, there was a palpable sense of optimism in the air.

PLUS the only live version of Machine Gun ever recorded. The Music that Brötzmann and his comrades were doing in combination with the raw, raaaaaaaaw sounds of the recording and the visuals of the cover made this the ULTIMATE classic of European free jazz! THE PETER BROTZMANN OCTET The Complete Machine Gun Sessions. Peter Brötzmann – Machine Gun, BRÖ 2, 33 1/3 rpm (GER), 1968
