Peter brotzmann the chape free#
The gigs in London and Birmingham will be gigs of high quality in which the trio plays without gaps and provides the listeners with the intense experience that the very best free jazz can provide. Olie Brice and Mark Sanders contribute very strongly to the intensity of the performance each makes his own contribution and the performance is definitely one of three equals rather than a saxophonist playing with a rhythm section. His solos are fierce, but have an underlying logical and melodic pattern. He has his own distinctive style and, although he will at times play overtones on the alto saxophone, he mostly develops long lines without distorting his tone. Some have compared his playing to that of the doyen of European improvisers, Peter Brotzmann I hear no real evidence of that in this recording. Trzaska is an extremely fluent and original improviser whose solos move constantly and seamlessly from one idea to another in ways that strike me as being different from other improvisers. The music is free jazz at its very best with a totally integrated group. It gives a very good idea of what to expect from the two UK gigs. They have also played together in Poland a number of times, and will be playing four dates there before the UK dates.Ī recording of the trio at the Jazz Od Nowa Festival in Poland can be watched here. This is the second time they have toured England, the first time being five years ago. These are at London’s Café Oto on Tuesday 16 th July (8.30) and Birmingham’s Polish Club on Wednesday 17 th July (8pm). The Polish saxophonist Miko łaj Trzaska will be playing two dates in England in July with the Riverloam Trio in which he joins bass player Olie Brice and drummer Mark Sanders.
