There is a reason why Peter Brötzmann was avant-garde for longer than the avant-garde itself: unwavering artistic honesty. "Jazz music is a music of personalities," he stated with his usual grumpiness: "And so I didn't care about anything but myself. And then it went like this." A gross understatement. Because the playing style of the founding member of the legendary Globe Unity Orchestra was even ennobled with its own verb: brötzen. Highly regarded in America and Asia, he has found countless heirs. Among them is pedal steel guitarist Heather Leigh, who comes from the noise and free folk scene and played a legendary duo concert with Brötzmann at Enjoy Jazz in the old Karlstorbahnhof in 2016. She will open our tribute power jazz evening before Brötzmann's comrades-in-arms from the trio "Full Blast" take over: Bassist Marino Pliakas and drummer Michael Wertmüller. On saxophone: shooting star Mette Rasmussen. The Austrian magazine "Falter" recently ran an article about her with the headline "Gentleness sounds different." Need we say more?
