He was a bit older than me and he had more experience travelling around, working with a lot of guys, a lot of famous guys even. Beside being an excellent bass player, Buschi Niebergall was a very extraordinary guy. All three of them were good friends anyway, but in my ‘career’ important persons to meet. I met some good old friends, especially three of them who are dead, that’s Buschi, Harry Miller – two bass players, what has happened to the bass players ? – and Frank Wright of course. Then I hopefully have some good friends who can tell me, “Ah Brötzmann, take some brushes and paint!” I don’t want, I’ve seen some examples, at the end of their careers, it was not a pleasure anymore. Maybe more… Maybe more but I think ten years is realistic, I don’t want to end up repeating things of the good old times and playing some weak shit. And sometimes you realise that you have much more time and years to look back on than to look at what’s coming up, so maybe I would say if my health is going on like this and everything is going well, I give me another ten years for example… But of course this exhibitition is a reason more to do that, and it’s really funny now being sixty years old and even our togetherness, our connection to each other, is already thirty years away so there is a lot to look back on. Usually you are so busy with all the daily life work, that means travelling, playing, cleaning instruments, writing letters, doing phone calls, sending faxes, you don’t have the time or you don’t find the time to think back. It was moving to me to see Buschi again among this, and to see Harry and Frank for example. Peter Brötzmann: I like some of the old stuff in the exhibition. Peter started to talk about lost friends, Buschi Niebergall, Harry Miller, Frank Wright… Interviewed and photographed by Gérard Rouy (August 21, 2001). The festival displayed an exhibition of my photographs, “Blue Balls/Brötzmann”. After spending a couple of hours at Peter Brötzmann’s home in Wuppertal and a night’s performance at Talklänge festival (Germany) to celebrate his 60th birthday (a duet with Albert Mangelsdorff, then joined by Louis Sclavis, Henri Texier and Aldo Romano in a quintet), I met Peter Brötzmann again at Jazz à Mulhouse festival (France) three days later.

The result is intense, beautiful and touching. Trost invited him to Martin Siewert's studio in Vienna to do so in summer 2018. A long desire of extraordinaire saxophone player Peter Brötzmann was a studio recording of some of his favorite jazz tunes and his own music - a grand bridge over the music important for his life and his musical career in the past and present.
