"More than thirty-five years after creating his own 'Bro' record label to release for Adolphe Sax (Bro 1) & Machine Gun (Bro 2), now well established as an artist of great & enduring significance, Peter Brotzmann has decided to revive Bro as an outlet to release special editions of some of his most personal projects. Bro Records no. 3 documents Brotzmann's 2002 encounter with a true jazz legend, drummer Walter Perkins. As Brotzmann said from the bandstand, 'it is a great pleasure & honor for me to play with this gentleman. He is history. He has played with all my heroes, & I'm glad & grateful that I have this possibility'. The music they played is marked by a depth of beauty & animation rare even by the standards of both artists' extraordinary histories. pressed on pristine 180 gram vinyl by RTI, artwork by Brotzmann, jackets silk-screened by Siwa Records, Oregon, U.S.A. in a numbered edition of 999."

Artist:	BROTZMANN/BENNINK
Title:	Still Quite Popular After All Those Years
Label:	BRO
Format:	LP
Price:	$25.00
Catalog #:	BRO 004LP

2nd issue on the resurrected Bro imprint [Brotzmann's original label, that released Adolphe Sax (Bro 1) & Machine Gun (Bro 2) back in the day]. Live duo recordings from Feb., 2004. Brotzmann (alto clarinet, tarogato, alto & tenor sax), Bennink (drums, voice). Silkscreened covers by Siwa. "A continuation of one of the great duos in free music history, Peter Brötzmann & Han Bennink. Brötzmann organized a series of concerts with Bennink in early 2004 for the ultimate purpose of capturing these moments, their first duo music on record since 1980's Atsugi concert. The particular chemistry & poetry b/t these two old friends is still furiously alive; but the accumulation of experience & years by both artists brings new areas of consideration. This is Brötzmann/Bennink music formulated at once more carefully & more freely; every gesture here sounds earned, decisive, vital. As with Brö 3, real audiophile 180 gram vinyl by RTI. Artwork by both Brötzmann & Bennink. Numbered edition of 999."
