Sonore
Cafe Oto/London
CD edition. Great work from this heavy heavy trio – a group that features the talents of probably the three greatest living avant saxophonists in the world – Peter Brotzmann on tenor, alto, clarinet, and tarogato, Ken Vandermark on tenor and clarinet, and Mats Gustafsson on baritone sax! The trio have worked together countless times over the past two decades – and together have an affinity that not only results in some of the most amazingly adventurous improvisation you'll ever hear from …
Call Before You Dig
"Sonore (Brotzmann/Gustafsson/Vandermark) release their 3rd album, a double cd for Okka. Recorded at the Loft in Cologne both in concert and "in the studio" during December 2008, this album contains 22 pieces of Improvised Music that run the gamut of expressive energy and melodic power, as well as a composition by Brötzmann and Jimmy Giuffre. A thorough and exciting statement about where this trio was then and is heading now."-Ken Vandermark website
