The Final Terror
Saturday 15 November 2008, 7.45pm
Peter Brötzmann is a living legend of the European free improv scene, well known for his part alongside the seminal producer Bill Laswell in the iconic Last Exit band. This year sees the 40th anniversary of his recording Machine Gun, a revolutionary statement that set the standard for a no-holds-barred European response to free jazz. Following a blistering broadcast for Jazz on 3 earlier this year, this electrifying trio generates sonic wave upon wave of loud and fast, rocket-fuelled jazz.Acoustic Ladyland frontman Pete Wareham brings more loud raw jazz from his new band The Final Terror. Fusing his explosive saxophones with pounding beats from drummer Leo Taylor and the driving electric bass of Ruth Goller, texturised by guitarist Chris Sharkey of trioVD they produce enough sonic mayhem to more than justify their name.
