Re-press of Peter Brötzmann's 1984 free and breezy masterclass, which presents itself as a series of would-could-be practice room vignettes, which move between the soft toned and some more characteristically hard style explorations. The title is perfect, honestly- these are short, vivid blasts of expression that play against the long form type of free jazz, a more intimate reflection of a musician known more widely for his fury than his restraint. Introspective and morose, then suddenly breathing seconds of blazing fire as if he can't hide his true self. It's a wild ride, as always with Brötzmann, and there's so many beautifully suggestive moments hidden amongst the experimentation it makes 14 Love Poems an against-the-odds replayable hit.
