I am somewhat surprised. I would have assumed he was more mainstream in his tastes.

Yeah, that is surprising.

William Parker Quartet - Petit Oiseau

I only really know Parker & Drake through their association with Brotzmann, so I was surprised when this disc turned out to be post-bop strongly reminiscent of the mature Lounge Lizards, Jarrett's American Quartet (with Redman, Haden, Motian), and ultimately a descendant of Ornette and Mingus, I suppose. Kory, I think you would like this one a lot--it's very inside-outside. Not so restructural or angular as Braxton's similar outings, it could conceivably fit on a mainstream festival bill.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Brotzmann, Schlippenbach (piano), Lovens (drums), and Kowald (bass) playing "Song of the United Front"--this is fucking awesome.

Holy shit!
He began to develop methods of rapidly layering harmonics and false notes to create dense contrapuntal weaves; these involved experiments with plastic reeds, circular breathing and rapid tonguing which initially were so intense that he would find blood dripping onto the floor from the saxophone.

I can't be the only one impressed by this level of badassery. Now, it's not quite as badassed as Colin Jerwood breaking his neck during a concert and keeping the fuck on, but it's still pretty badass.
