Brötzmann / Miller / Moholo – The Nearer the Bone, the Sweeter the Meat

As far as free jazz goes, this is about as free as it gets.  Saxophonist Peter Brötzmann is a legend in the genre, double-bassist Henry Miller is a new name to me, but the album’s star is Louis Moholo, who recently passed away.  His drumming sounds like a loud, heavy rain on a rooftop, supporting Brötzmann’s wailing and Miller’s violent plucking.  For a free jazz album, this is a pleasant racket.
