Every now and then, a review pops up I didn't know about. This time from Jazz Journal (UK) on Freshta:

"Lotz's deep-seated belief that the ideas of peace and freedom are too powerful to destroy proves to be a powerful creative spark, and despite the undeniable gravity of the subject matter, Freshta is ultimately an expression of hope, defiance and joy."

Tetterettet by ICP Tentet, released on Instant Composers Pool in 1977.

Recorded in 1977, the Instant Composers Pool’s Tetterettet is the first classic of the band’s larger incarnations. Assembled out of elements recorded live in Uithoorn, Utrecht, and the band’s home base of Amsterdam, with Misha Mengelberg using a cut-and-paste collage method akin to Teo Macero’swork with Miles Davis, the record features an all star lineup that added three leading lights of free music: bassist Alan Silva and saxophonists John Tchicai and Peter Brötzmann. In this period, Brötzmann made the long train trip from Wuppertal, Germany, to A’dam on a weekly basis to rehearse with ICP, bassist Silva coming in from Paris...

Tonight, I’ll be a guest with the ensemble Hoca Nasreddin for an intimate house concert in Cihangir Istanbul – perhaps my favorite setting of all.

This is what makes me tick: being part of so many different musical adventures. Excited for what’s to come tonight!
