"Notes are the decoration. The real thing is time !!" Just for that was worth listening ...

yes sir master sir yes

I did not know that Mike can play drums too and he mastered it! He always blows my mind! miss him. !

What is the name of this second tune, at 09:25 ???

God, do I miss this guy. Sorely.

He was such a humble genius

what an amazing person

Bummer, very hard to discern,

Wonderful to hear him say so much about developing his craft and art. Also as others have said what a humble and generous man.

Mr.Aebersold really is famous. I'm glad he's my teacher :)

I miss Michael Brecker

🔥🔥🔥

Great video. Thank you for this. 3 years to the day after this recording the world would be different.

This video is gold!

Genial

In 2022 breaker is NOT THE BEST

1:31:28 Slide guitar effect.

Does anyone have text version of this?

His drumming is heavily influenced by Elvin Jones. Love it

Pure gold.

Thx

The sound quality is not the best, mainly for a non-native English speaker like myself, but the video is great.

"They are all better than me". What a humble guy.....

Wow !

Listening to Purple Lagoon . . . i am still speechless after all these years.

Brecker Kills it on drums.

Is this never before released? Never seen this one... Awesome.

Anybody know where I can find the original of the song that's announced as a Bob Mintzer sax/drums duo at 9:22? Is it a bootleg live recording or is it on some official release?

1:21:50

An outlier!!! The right environment The right parents The right Teachers Owns a club No financial problems

13:47 When Mike Brecker asks what mouthpiece you play. Wow.

R.I.P. X

Whoever you are thanks for this gold nugget of musical wisdom !

Mel Lewis's 1976 album "Mel Lewis and Friends" is the record date Michael is referring to here.

Michael was the greatest musician and the nicest person.he was really kind to me.

The greatest sax player ever!!!!!!!!!!

Pavrotti, Puccini !? serious!?

Mike had that hermit brain: practice what you need/want, make it perfect, then take it on the road. The rest is…noise.
