Kunst, Musik und Peter Brtzmann

Since the mid-1960s, Peter Brtzmann has made a decisive impact on the international free jazz and improvized music scene; parallel to his musical activity, he also practices as a visual artist. This volume takes a look at the outstanding double talent from various scholarly perspectives. It is dedicated to the artistic crossing of boundaries, asking how the art and music genres influence each other, and what parallels or differences can be identified in terms of artistic concepts and expressive forms. The focus is on the word free as an element in the name of the music genre free jazz and the record label FMP, co-founded by Peter Brtzmann. This points to a social dimension, but also to a creative musical or artistic principle in relation to the free arts. The book contains one of the last interviews with the artist.
