Genius. Modern players take note...never forget the musicality in your playing. Super speedy 'sheets of sound' are nothing without melody, purpose and direction. Brecker segues seamlessly from slow rhythmic phrasing to fast frenetic lines and takes us on a captivating journey with his playing. It was, and is, never dull and never soulless. What a legend!

This kind of hyperbole is silly, as the ranking of artists. As great as Brecker was, even if one just sticks to tenor players, lots of great names come to mind, beyond those already mentioned - Getz, Webster, Gordon, Rollins, etc. Actually, his tone here reminds me a bit of Sonny Rollins' work from the same era, which was what sparked my initial love for jazz as a teen in the 70s.

My saxophone teacher was also in New York for a jazz educators conference when he heard that Mike died. It really messed him up because because even though he wasn’t close with Mike, he admired him both as a musician and a person. Rest In Peace Michael Brecker 🙏🏾🎷

No question, one of the all time greats. Interesting to me is how he used some of the same shapes in his solo on “Skunk Funk” on the “Heavy Metal Bebop” album, recorded at almost the same time. Key of Fm concert-the key of love on the tenor, fer shure. What a wicked pisser of a player; in addition, he was really kind and supportive. A great human being all around. He’s up with other greats now. Thanks for posting this!

@marktyler3381 2 года назад
