FMP (Free Music Production)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FMP is a German record label founded by Jost Gebers, Peter Brötzmann, Peter Kowald, and Alexander von Schlippenbach in 1969, specializing in free improvisation and free jazz, usually by European, often German musicians.
For most of its history, Gebers was the principal figure at FMP; since 2000 he is just the producer. The first release was by Manfred Schoof. Among the best known musicians who have made records for FMP are Peter Brötzmann and Cecil Taylor.
FMP has a large back catalog of since 1992 unavailable LP's, only a small fraction of which FMP has ever reissued on CD. Some of these are now available on CD through Atavistic Records' FMP Archive Edition subseries of the Unheard Music Series, curated by John Corbett.
