An aggressive, emotive free jazz trio,
Full Blast is another of reedman
Peter Brötzmann's touring and recording configurations and includes the explosive rhythm section of
Marino Pliakas on electric bass and
Michael Wertmüller on drums.
Wertmüller and
Brötzmann toured with each other for years as a duo, and
Wertmüller and
Pliakas worked with each other frequently on various festival gigs, as well. The trio issued a debut album, the self-titled Full Blast, in 2006 on the German Jazzwerkstatt imprint, following it with Black Hole on Atavistic in 2009. ~ Steve Leggett
