The Willem Breuker Kollektief

Willem Breuker, 1944-2010, was a Dutch composer, musician and bandleader. He was a founding member, along with Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink, of the Instant Composers Pool Orchestra in the late 1960's, and formed his 10-piece Kollektief in 1974. After his death in 2010, the Kollektief carried on until 2012, when they made their last tour, including a memorable show at the NAC's 4th Stage as part of the Ottawa Jazz Festival.

Baal was the title of Bertold Brecht's first play, written around 1920, and set to music by Willem Breuker for the 1973 recording, hence the title.
