Yes Sir...I have him tattooed onme...cover if don't try this at home...Randy B actually judged me n band at UIL competitions in high school. I'm a tenor n baritone sax guy n clarinets n flutes n EWI n keyboards.
I'm not one of them who disapproved this, but I can understand them partially. Although many people seem to like what Stern is doing here (and everywhere else), I absolutely hate it. Same repeated standard phrases played with that disgusting (for me) chorus tone, finished by (in this context) senseless Jimi-like screaming. In my opinion it just ruins that absolute beauty and pure fusion mood, created by Brecker here.
I can't believe Brecker's power being funneled through his horn. So much power. Starts from the VERY SECOND he brings the band in. IMHO I hear his sound as the absolute quintessential saxophone sound. Unbelievable.
I agree fully with your opinion on his sound being Thee Sound. and MAN there's this really low, really dark note that it dips into every now and then, I could never find better words to describe it other than that it sounds powerfully violent and dangerous, but gives the whole instrument such a beautifully dynamic character.
@@bradlucid I wholeheartedly agree! His sound is so “alive” - it demands and captures your attention. I don’t know… there may never be another one like him. ☹️
I've been on a Stern kick lately and I've been listening to this everyday...these guys are well beyond just being on fire!!! RIP Jeff Andrews...such a phenomenal player!
Absolutely fantastic performance - thank you for sharing! I've been looking for Michael Brecker Band videos for years - and these are brilliant! More please!!
12:30 that's a man leaving everything on the stage... WOW. Even the audience realizes it. The only one to receive an ovation DURING his solo, not after.
Mi pianista preferido (de ese estilo). El público sintió la energía, y J. Calderazzo es un MAESTRO en eso. Y el detalle de, MB 1º solo , MS 2º y el piano de último, lo dice todo.
I have been watching a ton of these videos lately and this one is absolutely in a league of its own. This band is *always* amazing and this performance is on another level even for them!
Michael slept and thought about Jazz - practically playing the horn in his sleep. Hawkins . Parker . Brecker . *Carter What of Sal Nestico (RIP)? Michael is an orchestral rhythm section when he is in motion, tenor saxophone in hand. What of Christ Potter, Joshua Redman and Wayne Escoffery?
"scariest place in the world- onstage having to follow a michael brecker solo" pat metheny
Yes Sir...I have him tattooed onme...cover if don't try this at home...Randy B actually judged me n band at UIL competitions in high school. I'm a tenor n baritone sax guy n clarinets n flutes n EWI n keyboards.
Btw not many know..Mike could cut up a bit on drums....God Bless the Saxophone Jesus.... a fuckin MONSTER
I think it might have been a Charlie Parker quote that perfectly defines this performance: "We lit the fire, we greased the pan, and we COOKED."
So this is the level at which all all musicians hope and wish they could achieve. What a killer group.
wowwwwww, my God, amazing band. I wonder those 20 people that disapproved of this on CZcams???
This is one of the best videos I ever saw in my life.
Arturo, Maestro: "It takes one to know one..."
Absolutely love this performance mike stern is nuts

@@gtarm5177 I LOVE THEM ALL, MICHAEL, JOEY, JEFF, ADAM, AND MIKE.
@@gtarm5177 understandable I just like his bebop lines

Scott Baiar absolutely the quintessential sound

Man we all know the greatness of Joey Calderazzo, but still, the way he holds his own after all the solos... Damn!
Especially at this...relaxed tempo!
12:43 when it solved, I cried for joy. This is only possible for those who come from the planet of jazz. Thank you guys Thank you Michael.
Brecker was and still is one of the best of all times. His dominion over harmony and the instrument is 2nd to none...the guy was a beast...
6 years ago.. it still is today.
I was fortunate to have seen this band many times. It was some of the most intense musical experiences I've ever had.
I've been on a Stern kick lately and I've been listening to this everyday...these guys are well beyond just being on fire!!! RIP Jeff Andrews...such a phenomenal player!
Then check out Stern’s performance on Softly As In A Morning Sunrise with Harvie S(wartz) and Alan Dawson.
Michael brecker is king...
They're all all monsters of enormous talent, Joey Calderazzo solo moved my perception of musical beauty to unknown and unexplored concepts.
ju hintao his solo on Resolution is killer. It is on youtube
There are no words to describe how mind boggling good this is....??? Awesome
Watched this same band at the Free Jazz Rio in 1988, but with Dennis Chambers on drums, I was 18 years old and it blew my mind!!!
Real Jazz right there. Mr Brecker was one of the best.
Mike Stern!
Got to underscore Jeff Andrews Amazing Bass mastery!
Wowewww the king of saxophone

You are so right! And McCoy was just around the corner - he performed later that day together with George Benson.
I´m so glad I was there!!!!!
@@user-ec6ix9ck2k wow
He's only 24 here and he's right up there.
Jesus Christ nussbaum is a god damn monster, this whole band is like an electro revival of tranes quartet in terms of fire
After seeing these videos from the 80's Nussbaum is absolutely my favorite drummer. his sound and style are incredible.
The whole band is on FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don´t forget Jeff Andrews on bass!
Look at him at 15:17 :-)
