Peter Br�tzmann Chicago Tentet
Tollhaus, Karlsruhe (Germany)
September 14, 2003

Thanks to all the seeders of dates from the Brotzmann Tentet's recent European tour. In celebration, here is a reseed of one of my favourites from the archives from a time when the Tentet still played compositions. I can't remember where this came from but thanks to the original seeder whose information is reproduced below.
