Jazz on 3 - Peter Brotzmann, Toshinori Kondo, Massimo Pupillo and Paal Nilssen-Love at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam

Jez Nelson presents a gig recorded in September 2008 at Amsterdam's Bimhuis jazz club, featuring the multinational and multi-generational quartet including German saxophonist Peter Brotzman and Japanese avant-garde trumpeter Toshinoro Kondo, two important figures in free jazz. Brotzmann and Toshinoro famously played together in the 1990s as part of the Albert Ayler tribute group Die Like A Dog Quartet, and are joined in this concert by Massimo Pupillo, the bassist from Italian punk band Zu, as well as up-and-coming young Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love.
