Truly one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time.

Even when he plays the EWI, you can tell it's Michael Brecker right away.

This fantastic musician, saxophoneplayer, person! Changed my life!

There will never be another Michael Brecker!

His self-titled album? One of the best jazz albums of all time.

Thank you very much for upload this. R.I.P MAESTRO. 🙏🏻

what a great interview, thanks Louis

Fantastic Louis, thank you for this! Miss Mike. So musical.

This is amazing, thank you so much for this 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Gravatt has heavily influenced my playing in my early developmental years as well what a fantastic drummer

unforgotten...

Mike was the GOAT. Technical prowess combined with emotional facility is unmatched. Only Trane comes close.

Horace Silver, I saw him live in Europe, I think mid nineties, with a bunch of young guys. I think a quintet. One one the most awesome jazz concerts I experienced.

Very interessting, my idol for decades. The Bulgarian Wedding music is very interesting, because years ago I saw a vid from Steve Vai who was at that time playing and studying the same music from Bulgaria. Your vid here is a treasure of, for me, the greatest sax player since John Coltrane

Gracias por subir este tesoro!! Amo a Michael!! Sabio ser!!

My idol.

Thanks for this, much appreciated!

His speech construction is as articultate and coherent as his improvising. It's always impecable.

Love this! Thank you!

thank you so much, Louis !!!

Thank u Louis! ;)

Michael Brecker was the famous version of what I do, and how I play! Odd that I never actively followed his career!

LISTEN WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICE

The EWI is like an alien instrument.

36:04 made me crack up dododododododododododododododododododo

The only one that could outplay him in terms of harmony, melody, flow, mindblowing and neveranding runs, creativity, originality….was Allan Holdsworth. love MB forever and ever!!❤❤❤
