Some words on this issue: BROTZMANN/ BENNINK: “Schwarzwaldfahrt” (FMP Records – FMP-0440) (Record: Mint/ Jacket: Mint). First original pressing from 1977 and not the more common 2nd press. “Original LP released on FMP as a single LP, the album culled from the travels still stands a unique and instantly endearing entry in the oeuvre of each player. The whole has a raw verité feel splattered across the LP. Edits are often blunt with one piece ending abruptly and the next opening in progress. Over the course of the disc the duo moves about freely over the terrain, their shifting proximity to the microphone(s) adding a vivid spatial dimension to the music, the environment itself becoming an instrument. At one point early on Bennink beats a choppy rhythm on a log while Brötzmann twitters away on clarinet, the latter man gradually wandering away until he’s out of range of the mic completely only to return a minute later. The distant buzz of what sounds like a chainsaw undergirds the entire exchange, even spilling over into the next track. Several pieces later the fleeting drone of jet aircraft augments an argument of dueling penny whistles. Ambient birdsong of several stripes is also regularly audible across much of the program along with burble and babble of various-sized waterways. The two make direct use of the aqueous topographical features, submerging their respective reed instruments, blowing freely and taping the results. Taking the tactic to an extreme, the final cut of the original album consists of almost completely of an impromptu symphony of splashing sounds generated by hands, feet and dropped objects. Bennink’s customary playfulness comes through in the multitude of means he devises to make noise. Brötzmann adopts a matching level of open-mindedness and it’s a pleasure to hear him embrace such a sense of frivolity in the shared ad-lib approach. The two rarely seem concerned with adhering to any sort of agreed upon aural map at all. Their interplay is of the moment and lends a welcome aleatory air to the whole aural journey. The pinnacle comes on the companion disc during a 12-minute safari for tandem bass clarinets, the two giraffee-necked horns exploring the sound space beneath a peaceful arboreal canopy.” (Derek Taylor – Bagatellen). Original 1st pressing, top condition.
