Michael Brecker Quindectet, Blue Note Tokyo, 2004 

Jesus H. Christ, this should have 500 billion views. Michael is such a BEAST.

Set list 1:57 - Syzygy 16:22 - Broadband 30:59 - Scylla 49:59 - Timbuktu 1:10:44 - Itsbynne Reel 1:21:57 - Angel of Repose

The highlight of this concert for me is the sax drums intro with Michael Brecker and Antonio Sanchez in full on beast mode. Absolutely unbelievable!!

The trumpet player at 40 minutes came out of nowhere... and was fucking perfect, amazing, concise. Wow. yea. As hard is Mike is to follow, good job. That is possibly the most well-balanced, exciting, solo I've heard in a long time. Kick ass.

HELL YES! MISS YOU, MIKE!

And Michael had a good time and was really happy with absolutely every note he was hearing from the band, rubber duck included 47:05

"It's coming from a kind of a hybrid" says Brecker during the interview. That's spot on and exactly what makes Breckers music so exciting, refreshing and adventurous. What a special live performance this is. RIP you great tenorist, musician & composer!

Mike looked so happy. This concert is amazing.

Brecker at the peak of his powers. Nothing short of astounding. I've watched this concert a number of times now, and one of the things that I enjoy are the reactions of the guys and gals in the "band"! They are SO digging what they are hearing, It's commendable that they can maintain enough focus to not lose their place in the music and be able to come in on their next entrance, play their beautifully written parts, and not be 'distracted' by the genius tenor playing of their leader. In particular, I enjoy seeing the reactions of my friend Bob Sheppard (in the middle of the WW section) who is himself a world-class bad-ass tenor player and jazz musician. RIP, Michael.

MB~YES YES YES!!!! FINALLY A LIVE CONCERT OF THIS RECORD!!!! Awesome record!!!!

Cada cosa que veo y escucho de Brecker supera lo anterior.... Que músico fantástico!!!

I think that, after Trane, Brecker may be the best. It’s hard to say, there are a handful of saxophonists who are hard to rank, bc they’re all so incredible, but for my own personal rank, I put him that high on the list of GOAT jazz saxophonists.. RIP❤️♾

Caro Micheal la tua musica è sempre viva,sempre nuova, sempre sorprendente, ma però ci manchi tanto. Un abbraccio!

The genuine good time and joy all those seasoned musicians are having playing Itsbynne Reel with Michael is absolutely moving

Untouchable.....if you have the ears to wrap your head around what he is actually playing?

Love this performance so much!

Africa Brass, Coltrane, a classic, and this is just as good if not better...........Left us too early...

Michael Brecker forever my top sax list.

Antonio Sanchez rules

lois martin. the actual violist on this concert is left out of the credits. you can find her again on esperanza spalding's tiny desk concert with npr. meg okura is playing violin.

I must agree with Brecker, the strings improvisation is awesome (besides brecker and his band of course)

Broadband is a masterpiece

@9.50 Amazing Guitar Solo

The best tenor since Coltrane. If not better. If there is such a thing

Adam rules....

Amaziga!

dopo j coltrane,Art Pepper, M Brecker e' stato l'ultimo grande sassofonista innovativo al massimo e mostro di tecnica

ca. 9:25---9:30 猿も木から落ちる　"even monkeys fall from trees" (Japanese proverb). But what an incredible evening of music!

51:45 a love supreme 👏👏
