Her solo at this point is atypically lyrical for this otherwise overtly masculine ensemble. A trio of Yagi, Lonberg-Holm (back on guitar) and Brötzmann is another highlight, as is Yagi’s sensitive response to a moment of tenderness the collective brass distill from a heated climax. The set featuring Michiyo Yagi on kotos coaxes the Tentet furthest from its comfort zone, particularly in her opening trio with Lonberg-Holm’s cello and Michael Zerang’s percussion, later reprised with the addition of McPhee. There’s a constant flux of forces at play throughout this long and intense concert: each of its four sets runs to over 45 minutes and covers a range of moods. Yoshihide, Yagi and Sakata all draw new colours from his ensemble palette. Kondo alone among the Tentet’s guests has strong ties to the bandleader’s past work, having played numerous dates with Brötzmann in both Die Like a Dog and Hairy Bones. Kondo them plays more impressionistically with trombonist Johannes Bauer, before the next collective brew-up. At the cooling, Brötzmann strolls in from his spot stage left, to join Joe McPhee in a brass-backed duet. After an opening fanfare for horns, the Tentet launches into a percussive maelstrom, all whipped along by Fred Lonberg-Holm on caustic electric guitar, with Kondo’s electrified trumpet at the eye of the storm.
