Full Blast

Full Blast is a trio of the German saxophonist Peter Brötzmann with two Swiss musicians, electric bassist Marino Pliakas and drummer Michael Wertmüller. Formed in the early 2000s, the group plays a loud free jazz with roots in metal and noise, where bass and drums lead as much as the saxophone. Wertmüller had worked with Brötzmann for about ten years before inviting Pliakas into the new band. The self-titled debut, recorded live in Cologne, came out on Jazzwerkstatt in 2006, followed by Black Hole on Atavistic.
