Iconoclastic German reedman Peter Brötzmann has appeared in almost every conceivable combination and circumstance over the years, from the maelstrom of Last Exit to the austere horn choir of Sonore, via hook ups with almost everyone in between, counting such free jazz luminaries as Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton and Evan Parker. However on "Ears Are Filled with Wonder", recorded during the German's residency in Krakow during November, 2015, he finds an unlikely accomplice in Glasgow-based American pedal steel guitarist Heather Leigh.

Self-taught, Leigh has operated in the noise and avant rock fields for several decades including with the likes of drummer Chris Corsano, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Wolf Eyes' John Olson. While this may have been only her second engagement with Brötzmann, the pair has since toured in both the U.S. and Europe, demonstrating that they have unearthed a rich motherlode.

This is genuinely compelling music. It reveals the duo's uncanny intuition and ability to communicate with one another and an audience. It is also a welcome addition to their respective individual catalogs.
