Recorded LIVE at the "Chicago Diaries" concert in Munich, Germany on April 2, 2000.

Here's part of Brotzmann's biography from ALLMUSIC.COM:
"Three decades after his death, the legacy of Albert Ayler is plain — a plethora of reed-biting aural contortionists bent on exploiting the saxophone's propensity for making sounds that resemble a human scream. Many such players, unable to play anything resembling a coherent melody, rely instead on the extreme manifestations of the Ayler technique; their playing is more often than not a randomly executed wall of energy and emotion-driven white noise. Peter Brotzmann, on the other hand, is the rare Ayler-influenced saxophonist capable (like Ayler) of producing improvised lines of depth and sensitivity while informing them with enough raw power to make a lesser saxophonist wilt. Brotzmann's playing has little of the arbitrariness one associates with other similar tenor saxophonists like Charles Gayle or Ivo Perelman; Brotzmann possesses a surety of tone and a melodic center characteristic of a focused musical conception. While there's no lack of spontaneity in his music, Brotzmann's concern with motivic and melodic reiteration gives his playing a palpable sense of direction. Indeed, Brotzmann's obsession often serves as a pivot upon which an ensemble turns, making him a consummate team player, in addition to being an affecting soloist."

This record album is BRAND NEW and UNPLAYED. It is number 489 from a limited edition of 500. I cannot speak for the live impact of the Munich session but as a Chicagoan, I know attendees of the Old Town School concert who rave about it to this day.
