On this show a tribute to free saxophone giant Peter Brötzmann who passed away recently. Peter born 6 March 1941 and who died on 22 June was regarded as a central and pioneering figure in European free jazz. Throughout his career, he released over fifty albums as a bandleader. Amongst his many collaborators were key figures in free jazz including Derek Bailey, Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor as well as experimental musicians such as Keiji Haino and Charles Hayward. His 1968 album Machine Gun became one of the landmark albums of 20th-century free jazz. In this tribute I have concentrated on examples of his more recent work but I close with something from that seminal album.
