How Brecker Broke The Bebop Scale (Now It's Even Better) 

Everytime I'm only scratching the surface, when you dig deeper there is so so much more. Love that music keeps amazing me

Yes, he was a pattern guy, but was also amazing in changing the patterns. I need do a lot more Brecker

True that, we will just take it in bite sized chunks hahahaha:) thank you so much for commenting

Thank you so much, Brecker was a huge fan of guitar. He emulated the sound of the guitar much.

That's really cool, thank you for getting in and commenting. Nice that it works for drummers too

I saw Brecker playing drums in 96.. THIS was a profound moment for me. Words cannot express how frighteningly good he was behind a kit. No one ever believes me when I tell them Brecker was a drummer as no footage of him even practicing drums exists. No joke. He was that good. I still get goose bumps thinking about it.

He was an amazing drummer indeed. But check this workshop out. at 15:00 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MEJE2TVQ16M.html There is Brecker on drums

@@sorenballegaardmusic Thanks, Soren!! You are soo awesome! So, there is a video of him playing afterall. I'll have to bookmark this. And hes swinging here. When i saw him in 96 he was playing some funk grooves with some incredibly clean ghost-notes.

@@sorenballegaardmusic OMG. He says in this video that he switched to playing sax after he heard Cannonball Adderley play. Which makes sense because I can hear so much of Cannonball's outside playing in his playing. But this is cool knowing Cannonball was a DIRECT influence. WOW! Soren, Thank you again for sharing this link!!

Thank you so much.

Exactly. Its not a Brecker thing... Its a Cannonball Adderly 'thing' that Eric Dolphy gave an identity to... and David Baker KNEW that. He was a GREAT teacher and wrote some GREAT books.

Some nice history there. Thank you so much for sharing this. Love to get deeper, but there is so little time to get everything under your fingers.

Super cool, thank you so much for the insights. Amazing stuff right there.

@@sorenballegaardmusic Soren, you're so RIGHT.. There is so little time to get everything under your fingers. But you are "COOKING" in this video. :)

@@percyvolnar8010 you are super, so Inspiring and keep talking me up. Thank you so much

I think you will get some opposition out there with that statement. Because scales are real. I would say what you are describing is what Coleman Hawkins called movement. Then you can choose to play what ever to make the movement happen, and I do believe scales is one of the things you can choose to play
