Brötzmann is one of a few who can captivate an audience with a solo performance (like Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell or Evan Parker, for example) and at the age of 70 he seemed to be at the peak of his art.
“Solo at Dobia”, his tenth solo album, is an ambiguous listening experience. Recently there were two albums, a solo performance in Italy and a duo with Hamid Drake, one of his favorite drummers. Well, I had no problem writing about Brötzmann exclusively (albeit I would never ignore other musicians) since I consider him one of the most important artists in the last 50 years (sic!) and his titanic output is worth every line on this blog. After one of my last reviews, a commentator suggested rather negatively that I regularly write about almost every Brötzmann release, suggesting that this is the only thing I care about and that I am ignorant to all other artists.
