I first heard this Trio on the occasion of Brötzmann's 70th birthday celebration, called Long Story Short, on the 5th of November 2011 at the Schlachthof Wels. It was a Brötz of beauty. And like William Hogarth's "Analysis of Beauty" from 1753 tells us to learn how to see, especially how to see Beauty in the Line of Beauty, the S-shaped line of the serpentine, this recording of the meeting of Peter Brötzmann, Sabu Toyozumi, Jason Adasiewicz at the Shenzhen OCT-LOFT Jazz Festival on October 18th, 2015, teaches us how to listen. 
Brötzmann first played with Sabu in Tokyo in the early 1980ies, he first met with Adasiewicz in the early 2010s in Chicago. You are listening to 30 plus years of solid cosmopolitanism, invention and improvisation forming a distinct language of its own in front of an audience that loved "Uncle Peter". So close your eyes and hold your breath, a beautiful storm is coming, it takes you right into the eye of the hurricane where time stands still as witnessed by the silences between Sabu's mighty toms and the whirlwinds of crystal-shaped vibraphone ringing of Jason and the existential roar of you know who. Enjoy the essence of making great music.
