I'm not much of a writer when it comes to describing jazz (and you could probably argue that I'm not much better with other music). But, I know what I like. As a former sax player, I envy Peter Brötzmann's intensity and stamina. I love Hamid Drake's sense of rhythmic imagination. I love almost everything I've heard with Drake and William Parker playing together. So, naturally, I love this massive two-disc live set.
If you already enjoy modern jazz styles, I think you will enjoy this too. If you are a newcomer, there's no time like the present. These three musicians are among the most (dare I say) important innovators on their respective instruments in the last 40 years.
