    Album Description

    Dive into the captivating world of "Sparrow Nights," the first studio album from the dynamic duo of Peter Brötzmann and Heather Leigh. Released on November 2, 2018, via Trost Records, this album is a testament to the unique chemistry between the German free jazz legend and American pedal steel guitar virtuoso. With a runtime of 1 hour and 17 minutes, "Sparrow Nights" offers a comprehensive overview of their tumultuous, chaotic, and complex musical relationship.

    The album features ten tracks that showcase the duo's ability to blend complexity with simplicity. From the haunting melodies of "Summer Rain" to the raw intensity of "River of Sorrow," each song is a masterclass in improvisation and musical dialogue. Brötzmann's mastery of the reeds—including clarinet, saxophone, and bass saxophone—is perfectly complemented by Leigh's evocative pedal steel guitar playing.

    Recorded in Vienna in May 2017, "Sparrow Nights" is a sonic journey through the depths of free jazz and avant-garde music. The album's artwork, designed by Peter Brötzmann himself, adds a visual dimension to the auditory experience, making it a complete sensory event. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a curious newcomer, "Sparrow Nights" promises an unforgettable listening experience.
