Judging by the number of cover songs that he performed, from Fletcher Henderson big band compositions to Disney show tunes, even Sun Ra didn't listen exclusively to Sun Ra music all the time. Let's move back to the rest of the jazz universe.
Peter Brötzmann is a 69-year-old German saxophonist and clarinetist. Originally a painter associated with the Fluxus movement, a concert by jazz clarinetist Sidney Bechet made a lasting impression on him and he taught himself to play the clarinet and then later the sax. In addition to his own bands, Brötzmann has recorded or performed with Cecil Taylor, Mats Gustafsson, Ken Vandermark, Joe McPhee, and his son, Caspar Brötzmann. In the 1980s, he flirted with heavy metal and noise rock, recording with Last Exit and the band's bass guitarist and producer Bill Laswell.
Brötzmann will play a rare solo set and a duet with his longtime colleague, the drummer Andrew Cyrille, in Knoxville, Tennessee at the 2020 Big Ears festival.
