Live At Spruce Street Forum is the 2004 live album by Peter Brötzmann, Lisle Ellis, Marco Eneidi and Jackson Krall, credited on this CD as B.E.E.K. This was released on the Boticelli label.
Recent Brötzmann recordings have been as powerful as ever, but often distressingly rational. Live at Spruce Street Forum, I’m glad to report, sounds completely bonkers. The longstanding Eneidi/Ellis/Krall trio doesn’t bother extending their guest any “after-you” courtesies: they just start blowing and make Brötzmann force his way in. The 16-minute opener is a sheer, brutal joy, beginning with five minutes of just the core trio – Krall’s quickwitted, free-but-funky drumming, Ellis’s talking bass, Eneidi’s rude, Lyonsish alto – before Brötzmann enters the fray and all hell breaks loose. Part 2 is more measured (groovy freebop rather than a bloodbath, the musicians actually taking turns to solo, Eneidi at times downright tuneful) but Brötz’s stubbornly incoherent clarinet babbling keeps things from getting too comfy, and the track ends with a convincingly ugly brawl. Part 3 is a bagatelle – a cute little two-minute onslaught – and part 4 is almost lyrical, a dismembered free-form balladish thing harking back to Ornette’s Atlantic period. As you’d expect, this musical truce proves temporary, and it’s almost a relief when on the fifth and final track the four musicians resume hostilities. Hourlong screamfests can be exhausting experiences – the kind of thing you put on the stereo only in the right mood – but not this one: Live at Spruce Street Forum is curiously addictive, and I’ve found that in order to appreciate the music’s finer nuances (that’s a joke, by the way) the best solution is to play the whole thing repeatedly from beginning to end at high volume. Discerning neighbours and family members will thank you.
