In November 2004 the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet presented "A Homage to Kenneth Patchen" at the Chicago Humanities Festival with Mike Pearson reading from "The Collected Poems of Kenneth Patchen." A recording was released on the German jazzwerkstatt label entitled "Be Music, Night" in 2006. Musicians in the performance included Peter Brötzmann (clarinets, alto and tenor saxes), Mats Gustafsson (baritone sax, bass clarinet), Ken Vandermark (baritone sax, clarinet), Joe McPhee (trumpet, alto sax), Jeb Bishop (trombone), Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello), Kent Kessler (bass) and Paal Nilssen-Love and Michael Zerang (drums). In 1984 Brötzmann had recorded a solo dedication to Patchen for FMP titled "14 Love Poems," a collection of short unaccompanied reed pieces that mirror textures and cadences found in the poet's love poems.
