Peter Brötzmann, a legendary German jazz saxophonist and clarinetist, made significant contributions to European free jazz over his extensive career. He released more than fifty albums as a bandleader and worked closely with influential figures in the genre, including Derek Bailey, Anthony Braxton, and Cecil Taylor. Brötzmann’s musical explorations also ventured into experimental territories, collaborating with artists like Keiji Haino and Charles Hayward. His groundbreaking album “Machine Gun,” which debuted in 1968, is widely regarded as a seminal work in the evolution of 20th-century free jazz.
