A beautiful chapter in the evolution of these three key artists on the European scene – and a record that has some warmth and wit that nobody might have expected in their music a few years before!

A searing late classic from FMP – a 90s performance, and one that shows just how much Peter Brotzmann had kept up the fire from his earliest albums for the label – and also just how much he was transforming as a player!

Charles Gayle calls forth the ghost of John Coltrane wonderfully – in this freewheeling set that also features bass from William Parker and drums from sometime Trane-mate Rashied Ali!

Snapshot – Jazz Now Jazz Aus Der DDR ... LP FMP/Song Cycle (UK), 1979. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)...
$12.9918.99
Way more than a snapshot – as the double-length set acts more like a full portrait of the European free jazz scene at the time – with special contributions from a wide array of avant German musicians! The feel here is very FMP – especially in the mode of that label's live ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An early moment of brilliance as a leader for bassist Peter Kowald – and maybe a record of his that matches the early FMP albums of Peter Brotzmann for sheer, raw intensity! There's almost a Machine Gun-like power here – as the group comes on with all the amazing energy that the early ... (Jazz) read moreCD

Pure acoustic genius from Hans Reichel – an improvising musician who rose up in the same generation as Derek Bailey and Fred Frith, but who's got a sound that's maybe much more in the experimental style of American artists like John Fahey or Robbie Basho!
