Peter Brötzmann (*1941 in Remscheid, lives and works in Wuppertal) is a jazz musician and visual artist. He taught himself to play the clarinet as a child, but later turned to the saxophone, pursuing an increasingly free style of playing. Under his music label BRÖ, Brötzmann released the record Machine Gun in 1968, now considered a milestone in the history of modern jazz in Europe. In 1969, Brötzmann founded the label Free Music Production (FMP) in Berlin, together with Jost Gebers and others, which was mainly dedicated to the promotion of free jazz. From the 1980s onwards, Brötzmann performed at numerous festivals, including the Total Music Meeting and the Berlin Jazztage, and extensively toured the USA and Japan. Over the course of his career, Brötzmann has collaborated with numerous other major figures in the free music scene, including Don Cherry, Steve Lacy, Louis Moholo, Bill Laswell, William Parker, Heather Leighton, Hamid Drake, Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Anthony Braxton, and Rashied Ali. In 2011 Brötzmann was awarded the German Jazz Prize for his life’s work.
