Around 44 minutes: Peter Brötzmann says that "there are many today from the Conservatories who can play better than me". Hm... when listening to his saxophone in Globe Unity Orchestra that is not exactly true. He had the most powerful expression of all.
To play better is not necessarily to play with style or passion. Sometimes it is not the most technically proficient that have the most fans but those that put their own mark on the art. A certain unique humanity.
he might be right about them being "better" I the technical sense but I think what he really means by that is that even though there are a lot better technical players than him, people are losing their intensity and creativity which was always much more integral to Brötzmann's work than talent
For that Heintje song, Heintje had two number one singles in Germany in 1968. I think the one they played is probably "Du sollst nicht weinen" which translates to "You should not cry," which contains the lyric "Remember the years that still lie ahead of us Forget the day that leads me from you once." His other single that year was "Heidschi Bumbeidschi" which is a traditional Christmas song, but this also could be the song they chose since it's a lullaby about forgetting the pain and suffering of the world. Interesting that both of these were top singles in Germany in '68 while Brotzmann released such a drastically different album.
Great to hear Peter Brötzmann. I've admired his work for many years. I hope there are at least a few in that young audience who will be inspired by his words and music.
@@sunnowo Maybe it's because of his monotonous voice, and his sturdy accent when speaking English. It becomes arduous, even though it's interesting to hear about his life and how he became who he is now.
People have a lesser attention span. I had a Finnish geochemistry professor when I was getting my MS. His lecture was 2.5 hours long. There were 6 of us in the class and we all paid attention the whole time. Twenty years later, my attention span is about 1 minute long. Thanks, internet! :) However, the crowd here looks like they are listening quite attentively.

RIP Peter Brötzmann, a great artist & musician. People will remember you for what you did!
Absolute hero of mine. Whenever I've seen him live it's been a life-altering experience. Love this interview.
Saw Peter live earlier this year and got to hug him! Absolutely legendary musician and top bloke. Bless RBMA for this.
Peter Brotzmann is the real deal......and a gentleman

So many players nowadays are getting too good, but not learning to express the music as experiences.

Last Exit is one of the all time greatest bands period.
Hate how the interviewer cut him off right when he was going to talk about his graphic design education...
I hate when interviewers do stuff like that
THANK YOU PETER BRÖTZMANN 🎷🙏 ETERNAL SOUND
heard him 3-4 times on a stage. Always full of surprises, but at the same time - a stubborn character. Love him. True inspiration!
God it's like a warm fireside chat with Peter as we watch the embers glow and listen to the stories, is awesome. : )
For a man with such a loud and terrifying stage presence, he has such a soft and jolly voice. Like your favorite grandfather.
I could sustain : jazz from heaven, Mr. P. Brotzmann is like always in our mindings.
So many thanks
44:45 - 46:55 reminder to come back to this when feeling unsure
I really wish they kept the music clips in the video

Legend
I do love him since "machine gun" was published
still love your work!!
19:28 Imagine falling asleep to Brötzmann. Who forces them to attend this if they don't give a damn about music. Some people I just never get, lol.
all those sleepy kids in the audience... what a waste..
the audience look completely drugged out, wtf.
Look like they’ve listened to at least 10 hours of brötzmann before this

@@oliverbender3764 I meant more like machine gun 10 hour version but yeah that's also a possibility.
@@sunnowo Please make that and put it on youtube
