Reviews |
...you’ll find no political themes on The “Wels” Concert (OkkaDisk), but the trance-inducing polyrhythms whipped up by Moroccan guembri (an acoustic instrument that resembles a bass guitar) player Mahmoud Gania and American drummer Hamid Drake command an especially primal yet nuanced performance from German reed player Peter Brötzmann. You might have heard him with Last Exit or in duet with his guitarist son Caspar, but this disc exceeds those performances for sheer hypnotic power. [picked as one of the best five free/jazz albums of 1997] — Bill Meyer, Magnet, Jan/Feb 1998 |
