I Surrender Dear (album)

I Surrender Dear is a solo album by Peter Brötzmann. Featuring a blend of jazz standards and original compositions and improvisations performed on tenor saxophone, it was recorded during July 16–18, 2018, at the Vienna studio of recording engineer Martin Siewert, and was released in 2019 by Trost Records.

Regarding his decision to record standards, Brötzmann reflected: "Even when I do my wildest shit and my so-called avant-garde nonsense... I want to show, especially the young folks, that it has a relation to the tradition and to the history. I mean, in Europe it's quite easy to forget where the music comes from. It's American music, and the sources and the roots are in the American entertainment industry, and that's one of the points I wanted to make clear."
