Peter Brtzmann / Fred Lonberg-Holms Memories of a Tunicate

Peter Brötzmann / Fred Lonberg-Holm’s “Memories of a Tunicate“ just came out June 19th. This video is an outtake, so you know it’s good. Mark Corroto for All About Jazz writes: “Against Brötzmann’s muscular saxophone, Lonberg-Holm can bring a saturating wall of sound to parry that machine gun attack. This music is, though, not a face-off but a flow. Blasts of sound are tagged and escorted rather than opposed. ... Brötzmann often draws from melancholic extended technique with an old soul’s blue feel. For his part, Lonberg-Holm bows and plucks his cello, expanding it into a violin, bass or an electric guitar sound, accented at times with shards of industrial noise.“ “Together, Brötzmann and Lonberg-Holm have released two excellent prior duos ... This latest CD, Memories of a Tunicate, may be the jewel in their crown.“
