Peter Brotzmann makes many albums throughout any given year, but this is one
that really stands out. For one the album cover which makes quite an impression
and begs for an LP version, but the real impact is made by the
musicians. Saxophonist Brotzmann and drummer Steve Noble make an almighty
racket and they throttle this energy to create a powerful and consistently
interesting album. The title performance "I Am Here Where Are You" opens that
album in explosive fashion, developing a blistering tenor saxophone and drums
collective improvisation, materializing out thin air like a conjured
demon. Brotzmann switches from saxophone to torogato, which allows him o
develop a pinched, nasal sound that is exotic and makes a fine foil for Noble's
imaginative percussion. Brotzmann steps out unaccompanied on "Mouth On Moth"
playing a heartbroken bluesy wail on tenor saxophone. The raw emotional quality
that he is able to wring from the instrument is amazing in it's texture,
stretching way back to the likes of Ben Webster and Albert Ayler. Noble slowly
enters, low key at first, then the two meld together and raise the stakes to a
towering conclusion. Raw cries of emotion also echo through "No Basis" where
Brotzmann's peals of air combine with Noble's towering drumming to create a
wild and manic improvisation. They close out this uniformly excellent album
with "A Skin Falls Off" which is just a torrid, hell-for-leather improvisation
of howling saxophone and punishing drums. Certainly not something you are
likely to hear at Lincoln Center, but if you are a fan of the fire-music
sub-genre of free jazz, this is a must hear.
