Recorded in Sweden in 2003, this free jazz power trio features
three Peters: Br÷tzmann (saxophone, clarinet, and taragato),
Friis Nielsen (electric bass), and Uuskyla (drums). Medicina
contains all the excitement, creativity, and deep listening
interplay that signifies why the free approach still has plenty
to offer. There are eight cuts here, ranging from just over six
minutes to over 13. Propulsion is the key here; everything is
force, motion, and friction. Hearing Br÷tzmann play against an
electric bass player who understands how to get under blasts of
cacophony and keep it all gurgling forward in a snake-like
fashion while giving Uuskyla plenty of counterforce. The high
point of the session is the final cut, the lengthy "Hard Time
Blues," which begins something like a conventional blues with
Br÷tzmann playing a mournful solo before the rest of the band
comes in, and swirls about the low end and "melody" for a few
bars before beginning to build a tower of tension and energy.
The movement of the piece ebbs and flows with a fine solo by
Friis Nielsen before Br÷tzmann takes the blues line and turns
it inside out, moving forward and back across three vamps and
warping them enough to create a wall of fury. It's a hell of a
finish to a very fine album. Medicina is modern free jazz at
its best.
