#Peter brotzmann the dried rat dog cd free

If you are a fan (like me) it is must, of course. But this is a very good album, and you wonвЂ™t be disappointed. There are classics which are more important (as a duo recording I would always recommend вЂњThe Dried Rat DogвЂќ with Hamid Drake on Okka or вЂњEin halber Hund kann nicht pinkelnвЂќ and вЂњSchwarzwaldfahrtвЂќ with Han Bennink which were just rereleased by Trost) if you have just discovered him. He is able to play slow ballads without being cheesy, there is always an angular and yearning element in them вЂ“ and Noble is a drummer who can support this aspect of BrГ¶tzmannвЂ™s music perfectly.ДЇinally, back to the question from the beginning: Do we need this album (especially considering the fact that BrГ¶tzmann has just released another great duo album with Hamid Drake)? Well, maybe not necessarily. Maybe this is the greatest quality of BrГ¶tzmann on his latest albums. Both players are rather aggressive on this album but as usual there are balladesque moments as well, e.g.

He concentrates on his toms preparing a very repetitive African basis for BrГ¶tzmannвЂ™s blues inspired hollers, which is a very intense moment. But he is also a very sensitive player, which becomes quite obvious at the beginning of the second track вЂњIf Find is FoundвЂќ where he starts soloing while BrГ¶tzmann is changing to clarinet. And Steve Noble is with him from the very first second, he even pushes him to his limits. He starts with his typical BrГ¶tzmann tenor honk (consisting of four notes) marking the territory, stating: This is a BrГ¶tzmann record, this is what youвЂ™ll get, be prepared for it. Even if you have seen (or heard) this before, it does not lose its fascination, it grabs you by the scruff of the neck and does not let you go. The opening title track of this album is typical BrГ¶tzmann: lately he has tended to begin his recordings at a very high level, he gets in at the breaking point of the wave and keeps this level for 10 вЂ“ 15 minutes.

Noble is an excellent drummer, who has an interesting post/punk background on the one hand (I first became aware of him as a member of Rip Rig and Panic in the early 1980s), but on the other hand he has always been interested in African rhythms (he studied with Elkan Ogunde) and he has always had connections to the British free jazz scene being a regular participant of Derek BaileyвЂ™s company weeks. Another new album by Peter BrГ¶tzmann which feels to be his 231.498th one (or so) and as usual it raises the question if we need yet another of his duo performances because he has released a lot of sax/drums duo albums, among them legendary ones with Han Bennink and Hamid Drake, which have set high standards.Д«ut he hasnвЂ™t released a duo with Steve Noble before, although Noble is part of his trio with John Edwards (b) (just recently he extended this trio to a quartet with Jason Adasiewicz on vibes at the Berlin A LвЂ™Arme FestivalвЂ“ it was a killer performance).
