brö-a is the first release in the c/d format on brötzmann's private 'brö' imprint. produced in an edition of 400 copies to sell exclusively at concerts on the fall 2005 u.s.a. tour by brötzmann/waits, the disc is available here at eremite.com while supplies last. the package consists of a heavyweight cardstock gatefold-style sleeve (re-cycled paper), artwork by brötzmann, with the c/d mounted on a foam "hub" on the right inside panel. a handsome & unusual piece, & the music is a strictly killer representation of the brötzmann/waits dialectic.
