Perhaps odder still is the trio of BrГ¶tzmann and two musicians more often found in settings closer to jazzвЂ™s mainstream, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Nasheet Waits, who step up to the intimidating challenge of supporting him. Somehow a trio of Japanese musicians, playing koto, cello and guzheng, manages to fit right into BrГ¶tzmannвЂ™s aesthetic, as does another trio that incorporates turntables and electronics. This leads to a 26-minute romp by the Chicago Tentet with saxophonist John Tchicai (now deceased) that surprises by planting moments of tenderness-such as the duet between trumpeter Per-Г…ke Holmlander and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm-within the otherwise unrestrained bellowing of a dozen musicians, two of them drummers. Appropriately enough, the affair begins with a low, bone-rattling blast from a baritone sax, the lead instrument of an unnamed improvisation (theyвЂ™re all unnamed) by Sonore, an all-reeds trio featuring BrГ¶tzmann, Ken Vandermark and Mats Gustafsson. The set reveals not only BrГ¶tzmannвЂ™s penchant for extended atonal outbursts but also his affinity for Japanese instrumentation, Middle Eastern forms and the Chicago alt-jazz scene.

It serves as a veritable guide to BrГ¶tzmannвЂ™s sensibilities, his protГ©gГ©s and the world of influence he has exacted over free improvвЂ™s most vitriolic branch. The box set presents more than six hours of free jazz performed by 18 different configurations, some of which include BrГ¶tzmann and some of which do not. The five-CD set Long Story Short is a distillation of the 2011 Music Unlimited festival in Wels, Austria, curated by angry-jazz saxophonist Peter BrГ¶tzmann.
