Biography
The trio of Peter Brötzmann, Peter Kowald and Sven-Åke Johansson began playing in 1965/66. Later on, Brötzmann also began to work more regularly with Dutch musicians, forming a trio briefly with Willem Breuker and Han Bennink before the long-lasting group with Han Bennink and Fred Van Hove, entitled Brötzmann/Van Hove/Bennink. As a trio, and augmented with other musicians who could stand the pace, this lasted until the mid-1970s though Brötzmann and Bennink continued to play and record as a duo, and in other combinations, after this time. A group with Harry Miller and Louis Moholo continued the trio format though was cut short by Miller's early death.
