I remember jamming with Jeff in the music school rehearsal rooms at Berklee in the 1970's. We turned off all the lights and take long experimental solos but Jeff's solid playing would light up the room.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER! MODERN JAZZ MUSIC! MASTER! JAZZ TENOR SAXOPHONIST! VIRTUOSO! LIKE! THE LEGENDARY! MICHAEL BRECKER! AGAIN! NEVER! EVER! EVER! EVER! EVER! EVER! EVER! EVER!
Matija Liaic, I don't feel bad I am merely in awe of his talent. There are countless thousands of great players out there that could practise 14 hours a day and not touch him.
Agreed on the original tenor Selmer sound. To keep that full bodied and edgy tone on a Mk6 is something that's easily lost. MB was a master and such a humble man. IMO the key to true musicianship. RIP.
I would argue that music, especially jazz, is free to interpret any way you want. Even if I'm wrong on that point, I could never downplay anything Brecker did.
I like the sound Brecker has here,with the original neck,earlier Brecker! Not that his sound got less good or anything,but his tone is amazing! Jeff Andrews,my favorite bassist!
