The trio of Peter Brötzmann, Milford Graves and William Parker played a grand
total of three times, in 1985, 1988 and 2002. All three were concert
performances that took place below 8th Street in Manhattan. The 2002 concert
happened in the front room of CBGB, known at the time as Gallery 313. This
piece, a complete side of the first BEA release, the double LP Historic Music
Past Tense Future, is from the first of two sets. Bringing Peter Brötzmann and
Milford Graves together was a meeting of archetypes – force on force. Brötzmann
is on alto saxophone here and it sounds to me like the horn just might explode
in his hands (I dig Peter on alto so much that I stashed a couple at my house
for his North America tours). It didn’t appear that Graves had much use for
bassists until William Parker came along. Parker is his characteristically
brilliant self here, finding expressive spaces in the density of Graves and
Brötzmann's barrages. The unique sonic presence of Graves’s kit is really
captured on this recording: no bottom drum heads, bongos added to the
top-mounted toms, blazing double kick drums and the snare permanently in the
off position. This was one of those nights for the ages.
