Peter Brotzmann - Naked Nudes - Brötz 80th at Ada 2021 (Live) '2023

Tracks list

Recorded at ADA in Peter Brötzmann’s hometown Wuppertal as part of his
80th birthday concerts, Naked Nudes brings together two of his most unusual
collaborators, Heather Leigh (pedal steel guitar) and Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello)
for one of the most elegiac releases in his discography. The relationships
between the players are tonally odd: woozy, mournful, almost baroque blues or
even more chamber music in feel, the quality of the interplay is subtle and
natural, like modern ballads.
In the recordings Peter is pushed more to the front and it’s astounding
to hear him playing with such strength after almost two years of inactivity;
this is one of the first concerts he played while the world was still in the
midst of the pandemic. You can feel the weight of the moment in these recordings
and can imagine a captive audience under the spell of this strange music that
never feels overstated, hurried, frantic or finding.

Peter Brötzmann - Alto/Tenor Saxophone
