Playing this song should be considered a sport.
Playing jazz is a sport*
no doubt, unbelievable,
Lol
Watching it certainly is, I just lost 5 pounds...
This is hard-jazz-rock! or hard-fusion if you like.
This was my wedding song. It always makes me cry.
Rob Carter you sir have huge balls to play this at a wedding. Major kudos
@@nickman9639 literally xddd
Good choice. I bet your wife cries a log (for different reasons). Anyways, I'm on your side :)
bruh momentum didn’t know he married your mom
@bruh momentum i laughed ouut fuckin loud bbvahaha
This is how all jazz should be filmed. With these random cuts to super high contrast, black and white, shots. And all jazzists should dress like Mikey here.
the Chick Corea Elektric Band music videos from the early 90's tick all of those points haha...

I am a jazzist
Like an unemployed accountant
been watching this video regularly for 15 years it's about time I leave a comment
Probably one of THE best sax solos I've ever heard. RIP
THE best one !
I saw Michael Brecker at a jazz club in Uppsala, Sweden, in the mid-90s. On the last song he impressed by putting away the saxophone and sitting behind the drum set. Regular drummer hit with a trumpet and played amazing trumpet solo and Michael Brecker played amazingly well on the drums. I'll never forget this.
Of all of Micheal’s solo in Skunk Funk, this solo was the best version. This is the ultimate solo to learn for any jazz musician especially for a tenor sax player.
It’s one of his best solos and I’ve heard hundreds of them.
You should hear the guy who replicates his sax solo on recorder.
@@b6schilke996 who???
@@brEZ527Benoît Suavé
@@hughdat just watched it and my mind is blown lol. Never thought that something like that could be played on a recorder
Steve Jobs is killing it on sax!!
Josh Smout lol
Ha
Funny, I thought was Steven Segal
Wait wuuuuut
Josh Smout Haha this made me laugh
R.I.P. brother Brecker...can you imagine the sax section in Heaven??
YESSIR!!
Jonathan Aviles
Jesus makes a little band: Jesus Jazz
How you know its Jesus? Maybe god is a hindu...
Jonathan Aviles I get that Coltrane has that legacy but I truly believe that Brecker took Coltrane’s technique and just somehow made it even better man.
@Jonathan Aviles 100 years from now kenny g on sop
I was born the day this youtube video came out. brecker is one of the greatest of all time.
Fantastic. Randy Brecker did a master class at my high school in 2005 and I got the chance to play this song with him. He was amazing to work with. It's pretty sad, Michael got sick shortly after we worked Randy, and Randy broke contact with our band leader at that time. RIP Michael
Ian Krasnow Randy’s coming to the school I attend next month
There is a crazy bastard that plays Michael's solo ON A RECORDER!
And he looks like Keanu Reeves lol
@@roeeshteingart1257 link?
@@mangokittyrawr just search Michael Brecker skunk funk solo recorder
The recorder player is Benoit Sauve, I am a recorder player myself so I have watched that clip many times. Note that Benoit has his right hand on top, normaly you have the left hand there. If you think the clip has been reversed, I can tell you its not, he is playing that way. This also means that his recorder/s has been changed, for example placing the finger holes in a different way and also the way you drill and shape the holes. It is quite complicated to manufacture a high quality recorder. If you want to listen to maybe the best recorder player today, search "Kristine West recorder - Full Movie". This swedish girl is an outstanding musician, listen f e to the first piece by Vivaldi. The recording was made in Vätö church, Sweden. Enjoy!
@aubiestrawberry I couldn't believe it either until I watched the damn video and was fucking blown away.
｢Some Skunk Funk｣の衝撃は未だ衰えず･･･これぞ｢クロス･オーバー｣の真髄！！｡
R.I.P･･･Michael .
Best solo ever. There's no argument . Michael is the most technically sound tenor player that ever lived.
Lester?
Alexander Johns he's close but brecker is king
Chris potter can't play blues though. brecker is the package
estouffl stouffl If Chris Potter can't play blues then I may as well throw my Alto out the window! Haha
Uhmm... Coltrane? Lester Young?
. The only recording I have heard at this ridiculous tempo. Monsters!
Check out the japan ones!!
literally the sexiest sax solo in existence. gives me chills.
that crunchy altissimo G at 2:30 ish...
+Joshua Forbes Omg, yes!
+Joshua Forbes Definitly, i haven't found better yet
somehow this arouses me ^^
y
The mario kart vibe I get from this is too much, love it!
Haha, that Mario Kart 8 bass intro is priceless. Always look forward to that.
+Valerie Put it on 1.5x speed NOW!
+Joshua van Kuilenburg thats the main reason why I even play that game
Listen to the album Straphangin', especially Bathsheba!
Oh god I can imagine this going with a rainbow road 10x harder than the current ones
Dennis chambers is a beast!!!
Real! Has that cat ever missed a thing, ever? I think not!!
@@zenobiawinston4607 not only the chops,.. The consistency of his bass drum and snare on the groove is not human
Some of the best drummers in the world have played this tune with the Brecker Brothers. But none of them can touch Dennis Chambers. I hope he is in good health.
@@tomasw6985 Richie man but ya Dennis is goat
@@tomasw6985Terry Bozzio also
His technical ability I feel is still unmatched to this day. Look at his ability to switch from normal notes to those that are harmonic or altissimo notes. Never ceases to amaze me
This is how you play a sax. Michael Brecker is the man.
„How fast should we play the song?“
Randy and Michael: „Yes“

Aaaaaa
Michael was such an overwhelming force. And all that music, in the psyche of a warm and gentle man.....
" I have a weakness for horns like the Brecker Brothers ..."
Who said that?
Holy shit! Steve Jobs and The Hound! What a duet!
lmao. You got me XD
Hey, ALL of these players are monsters, truly, there isnt even the remotest weak link on stage, but Chambers freaks me out, damn! Guys like that block many from ever playing, simply for the reason, they know they'll never get close.
Dennis...🤦🏾
You certainly won't with that attitude
My god, that section of the solo that starts at 2:36 is absolutely INSANE!!! It makes my head explode....in a good way.
Randy - "Just stop the song after his solo..."
We all know what head Michael makes explode😂❤❤ 🎷
RIP Mike Brecker.
Even though I've played tenor myself since 1973, your stunning virtuosity never ceases to amaze me.
Thank you for everything you' did for the saxophone, for music, and for humanity.
We played this in high school, and I'm currently trying to re-learn it. So many hours of my life spent on these notes!!
+Erica the red head I wish I went to your high school! We didn't even play this in Conservatory.
Michael Brecker takes that horn to places it's never visited before.....and us along with it.....RIP Michael , bet you"re raising some musical hell in heaven !
sounds oddly sexual but yeah
As a french I'm so happy to know that my president plays the saxophone so good...
ha ha ha !
just the craziest funk i've ever heard!!!
+Павло Молюков You should listen the panzerballett version.
Why?
this is the most intense preformance, my personal favorate by the Brecker brothers especially Michael, may he rest in peace. I THINK THIS IS BEAST!
I have regularly revisited this exact performance since around 2008
Brecker is rushing and dragging, rocking the tune big time. Such an inspiring musician..
THIS is one of the most difficult song to play i've ever heard, almost impossible.
Best saxophonist, over all, Michael...
今聴いてもこのアンサンブル凄すぎ！
I was there, in Barcelona. Michel Brecker is the best. Thanks for posting
Wow I didn't expect to find this. Summer of 1992, I was there, in the audience recording the set to my portable Sony DAT machine. Michel Camilo also played that night with Dave Weckl and Anthony Jackson.
- an evening to remember......
his overtones are so inbelievable powerful! this recording is awesome...
Insane jam. Jazz funk on cocaine
Hands down the greatest jazz/funk fusion piece of all time. Thank you Brecker Brothers!
I can't imagine the number of times they played this tune, but it's never ever boring. This is amazing !
The SEXIEST tenor sax solo ever in jazz fusion history. RIP Michael
Michael Brecker is simply the best sax player ever.
かっこよすぎる
Chambers is perfect!
That was just downright outrageous!
Good God that band is tight!
I played lead trumpet on this chart in our Jazz and Contemporary Ensemble in the Fall of 1976...It was a challenge...
Our jazz big band was scaled down to a combo with two trumpets, one trombone, two saxes, and guitar, bass, and drums...
The definition of fusion jazz.
For Everybody - " Don't try this at home "
2:38 sequence blew my mind
I can not belive what I am listening to. Fantastic! Holy grail Michael.
What a great song! My God! ❤❤❤
Wow terrific 😛. I know various album versions but this live whoaaa.
Mike Stern too there. Pure Pleasure, Happiness creators.
31 years ago, I watched the Michael Brecker Band in Tokyo (with Mike Stern, Kenny Kirkland, Jeff Andrews and Omar Hakim). I split a cab back to the hotel with Michael. It was my first trip to Japan and I was really jet lagged. On the way back, we discussed this tune.
But is it fast _enough_?
Not quite my Tempo!
czcams.com/video/Z30t0dtjP0o/video.html
This is a better tempo it’s grooves
I’ve heard Michael Brecker play it much faster lol
what is enough?
labirbağabach
666 bpm
In my mind the best solo I have ever heard.
Just the best .. Some Skunk Funk-The brecker brothers with Mike stern, fantastic guitar player.
Something cool: I thought at times James Genus was playing slap, but it looked he wasn't doing it except after the start of Randy's solo, but then I realized that the bass drum and the bass had a hit at the same time, so that made it sound like slap.
Wow incredible
Brilliant guys
I've listened to this tune I'd say over 100 times in the past week.
They just tear this up. I wish I hadn't just been born less than year before this was recorded. Man.
Michael is the god of saxophone! Tearin' it up in heaven! Boy do I miss him.
Mikes solo here isn't as unbelievable as back in the 70s. live version on cd was the most insane thing I ever heard with waaa pedal!!
Juan Luis Guerra playing the trumpet!!
There will never be another Michael Brecker!!
What a great JAM! Stern is MAGIC!
2:53 Are you kidding? I could play my whole life and never be able to get that sound out of a saxophone.
With those guys, there's no BS ! It's f✨✨cking hot from the beginning😊👍👍
Randy, Michael, Mike, Denis... awesome crew, great funk jazz
Bar one the fastest M Brecker solo... and that means damn, crazy, fast.
2:26 Holy Fuck. He is a God.
I'm a sax player, and I think it's incredible!
The sax player (michael brecker) is awesome !
The Brecker Brothers are very amazing !!
this is THE Michael Brecker solo... amazing
I love how he opens his solo on this one....and the miles lick i can hear exactly where that comes from the one at 2:33
Right to the flat 5 but then a great line after that chord their playing on is tough
The bass is thundering the whole
Time love it
That riff that starts at 1:35 is the nastiest lick ever.
What Da Heck???? Never heard this before and it makes most bands sound amaturish! This is HIGH musicianship!
If you ever get the chance to see the whole concert, all songs are that high music quality and interpretation!!!
....just awesome!!!
man this is the best version of this song! better than studio IMO
Rayan Aridi I just learned from watching this video that when in doubt if you don't find the studio version of certain songs very good, check out the live version. Especially for jazz. Studio version lacked soul, but this version is like emotional pinball!
The 1979 live version on Heavy Metal Bebop is incredible, you should check it out
1:15 is the best opening line i've ever heard
Definitely how you should lean into a solo break. So many players leave it open. You gotta carry the energy and intensity from the rhythm section, or create it yourself.
I missed it until you mentioned it. Incredible!! Thanks for pointing it out.
このライブのメンバー、凄すぎ！
One of my FAVORITE songs of ALL TIME.. like ever! its wicked!
Michael Brecker... GUH
I nearly cried of disappointment when I listenend to brecker solo and then listened to those musician at Eurovison with their fucking child music...
Just another gig, another set, another solo for the ages
Love this song even though I am older
Ridiculous bass playing
I transcribed it it's on my channel :D Took me a whole month!
this is how I open with my first line of coke
JUST AMAZING
The levels of mastery are staggering, composition included!
5:36 - dat note doe.
Steve Segal on the sax!
Or Steve Jobs ?
I started my morning listening to this, couldn't have started it any other way!
i can't forget the moment i listened to the sount for the first time about thirty years ago.
even now it is very exciting to me!
Monsters Inc.
A little slow! But spot on😀
Incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is RIDICULOUS awesome!
Is the Michael Brecker's one a tenor sax?
+Gianfranco Rodi Yes
Thank you :)
Have no idea how some people say Chris potter is on this guys level
No one is on the level of MB :-)
I just can't believe how shy the man was. The supreme inspiration to the socially phobic amonst us. THAT is the most extraverted sound you ever heard! God bless you Mike!!
Come on! Randy's solo parts kicks *ss even more. As does his use of F/x 🏆 And the tempo; these guys were F A S T... Those were the Days 😢
I always feel bad for Randy on this one. His solo is great, but he's forced to follow literally the best tenor solo of all time.
Steve Jobs on the sax at 0:16.
+Julien Falcone You mean on the SaxiPhone? :-P
