Legendary FMP label's second-ever release: \"Balls\", waxed by Peter Broetzmann, Han Bennink & Fred Van Hove - the essential recording by one of the most influential free music trios of all time. Interestingly, the \"Balls\" sessions were actually the first studio recordings commissioned specifically by FMP for release, as Manfred Schoof's \"European Echoes\" (FMP0010) initially circulated as a live tape that ended up christening the label as its debut. In short, \"Balls\" has it all: Peter Broetzmann's blistering tenor squal, Han Bennink's limitless world of sound, and Fred Van Hove's ceaselessly inventive keys created unquestionably one of the definitive jazz recordings of the 1970's.
