The pace of breakers’ ideas is just insane, how he’ll hang on to one motif and you’d think of course he would have forgotten about it yet manages to sneak it back in
To be honest -- and sincerely wishing NOT to offend any fellow-jazzophiles -- I think that MB has got his shit together SO WELL that on this particular track he's EVEN BETTER than 'Trane playing the original version.
TheEleatic I happened to see McCoy almost 30 years ago , in the KYOTO station❗He was there with his sidemen .I told him how I'd liked his albums in his MILESTONE era, He made a certain smile ,(probably because I made something wrong with him…)and then , we shook hands with big smiles……He was truly a GENTLEMAN‼I'm so proud I shook his GOD-HANDS.
@@Ici-st4hg Great story. So many great albums he made for Milestone Records. I especially love Supertrios, Inner Voices, Trident, Focal Point, Together, but the others are great too.
Saw them too around the same time in Ryde, NY (I think it was), but the guest was Phil Woods instead of Michael Brecker. I'd always been a big fan of Phil, but I was apprehensive about whether his style would work with McCoy's group. But he was outstanding along with McCoy's trio -- wonderful concert.
@@bholaoates1542 You should check out Woods and his band the European Rhythm Machine from the late 60's early 70's that band played with some very intense energy.
@@mrdog66 Thanks for the recommendation -- I will do that. I've been aware of those recordings since the 70's, but never got around to hearing them. Meantime, RIP McCoy Tyner who just died.
McCoy had that jazz sound that pulled me into a lifelong enjoyment, His attack and fluidity on piano was a pinnacle moment for me RIP McCoy, you will be with me until I meet my own demise :-) Let's not overlook the incredible Michael Brecker, and of course the Bass player drummer (who is top notch) huge respect for Michael who clearly appreciating the drummers talent. Wow!
My favorite Tyner trio of all time. They had such a rapport... Even without Brecker, such a great band. Wished they had worked together and recorded together again after "Infinity".
couldnt agree more !!! saw them live in London UK years back, and they didn't just raise the roof, they ripped the roof off and stomped all over it, the collective group intensity achieved levels that could only be described as stratospheric. Never experienced a piano trio like it. Truly phenomenal. Brecker must have felt as if he were in heaven to be able to enjoy the pinnacle luxury of such a rhythm section and blessed to be able to join them on stage and create such a pinnacle of collective music together
I just can't understand how people doesn't get up from their chairs after hearing a thing like this. I'll be freaking out! Thanks for sharing the music Louis!
Aaron Scott's drum solo is phenomenal. It's beautifully melodic. And thematic. If you don't understand how those terms play in relation to its being rhythmic or dynamic, you are missing what a good jazz drum solo is all about.
Try Thinking For a change - I mean, it’s not a rock concert venue or stadium seating. If it was, I’m sure it’d be a completely different reaction. They even have tablecloths for gods sake. It’s not “childlike” to show a modicum of excitement other than/above slapping your meat mittens together when applicable.
Sax teachers say to keep fingers stuck to the keys, because when you will play faster you will have more economy in motion. This does not apply if you are Michael Brecker :)
He had quite big hands, and I don't him keeping that far away. David Sanborn, which is way different from Michael Brecker, but still, is a good player, has a more noticeable spread from his hands to the keys.
His fingers are still generally relaxed and not flying too far off the keys as he plays the fast lines. His fingers rarely “straighten out,” which is usually what we teachers are more concerned with.
even us sax teachers rarely get this aspect of technique perfect. it is no coincidence that charlie parker DID keep his fingers in perfect position, and he was even FASTER than brecker. he was faster than pretty much anyone, and his technique (of the fingers specifically) was perfect. watch any clips you can of parker's fingers, you'll be amazed. amazing what 12 hours a day for 2 years can do. after parker's famous public failure where the drummer threw a cymbal at him, he spent 12 hours daily for the next 2 years practicing in a woodshed. and yes this is the source of the expression for heavy practice "i need to do some woodshedding". it always APPLIES even if you are the great brecker, if he had managed it, he would have been even faster.
He was always on fire. He lived to take it to next level and beyond and pulled all those around him to a higher musical consciousness. He was Mozart on steroids and crack, living in a f_cked up modern world.
Louis, thank you so much for your CZcams-Canal ... Such a great opportunity to listen to Mike Brecker and even see him. In the eighties, I wondered about ALL the phantastic Brecker-Solos out there in the world in the worlds stages everywhere, not awailable to the wider audience. Unlike the records. But now, in CZcams-Times and grace to your passion, the music of Mike (and all the others geniusses) is awailable. Much to listen and to study!! Thank you so much again, Louis. Cheers Christoph ... and RIP Mike and McCoy
Wow I enjoyed that everyday I learn something new give flowers while your alive even a old tune can be brand new Arron Scott nice drummer MB never to be forgotten ❤ AS on bass bottom city for sure blue skys above MT let the keys sing as always really a blessing definitely a keeper no sleeper
Michael Brecker has been moving much faster than sound; hasn't he? In about a decade's + time he must involuntarily leave this Earth plane - has to. Tears with JOY must follow! What joyful sadness! Michael lives; long live Michael!
Thank you so much for posting this Louis! I'm a huge fan of Michael's work and your website, it's always such a treat whenever a new video goes up. Keep up the great work!
If we're voting on technique,but as we know there are other factors involved and Trane and Bird had lots of that certain thing that words can't explain.
Back to Congo Square where it all began when goblins, ghosts and spirits came out to dance, thereafter giving birth to the 'Tranes, Dolphys, Charlie Parkers, Shorters, Pharaoh Sanders, Sal Nesticos, Charles Lloyds, Ernie Watts, Earl Bostics, Breckers, Potters, Chad L- Browns, Steve Kortykas, James Carters, Nelson Rangell, et al. Thanks, Michael; rest comfortably.
The pace of breakers’ ideas is just insane, how he’ll hang on to one motif and you’d think of course he would have forgotten about it yet manages to sneak it back in
Also, the rhythmic displacement of those motifs. I would get so lost trying to do that but it appears easy for him.
In loving memory of Mr Coltrane and McCoy Tyner the impression sound still lives on into eternity
RIP McCoy. Thanks for everything.
Jazz at its highest level by far
R.I.P. McCoy. Thanks for giving us all so much wonderful music.
Obviously influenced by Coltrane, but Brecker took the baton and ran uniquely to his own destiny.
He goes totally 'Trane when the piano and bass drop out only leaving him and Aaron playing.
His tone is even like trane. But he is a great musican and fun to listen too
he's the Stan Getz of our times.
I too think Michael Brecker is the shit
To be honest -- and sincerely wishing NOT to offend any fellow-jazzophiles -- I think that MB has got his shit together SO WELL that on this particular track he's EVEN BETTER than 'Trane playing the original version.
I saw the McCoy Tyner trio about 20 years ago. I'm still trying to wrap my head and heart around what I experienced. Magical.

Absolute genius R.I.P MB!! #BeastModeEngaged😎
I think I need to lie down after watching and listening to this
Brecker became the most influential jazz saxophonist many years after Coltrane died.
That's because most of the people could not wrap their heads around what Sonny Rollins was doing.
Scott's solo peerless, Brecker shines here too and Tyner as always is brilliant. Thanks guys so much.
good lord! mccoy's solo was a blast!!!!
Michael -- RIP as always for your passion lives on

Blown away by Michael's solo. Great cover of Coltrane's tune.
Itsbynne Reel at 3.59 brilliant Mike RIP 👍👍👍🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
Good Lord. . . Michael is on fire!!!!!
Great trio. I was shocked to discover that Tyner is actually left-handed.
Amazing Drum solo!!!!
Wow the whole band is incredible, but Brecker's time feel is just relentless. How I wish I was at this gig...
My favorite Tyner trio of all time.
They had such a rapport...
Even without Brecker, such a great band.
Wished they had worked together and recorded together again after "Infinity".
Great album. I think it's the last McCoy Tyner that I like a lot.
couldnt agree more !!!

@@KermitHitler INDEED! I saw that trio quite a few times and each time my head was blown clean off...
Smokin’! I love Brecker’s “Itsbynreel” quote at 3:45
Cannot look at this performance enough. He brings everyone to another level.
the drummer's touch is unreal
RIP McCoy!
I just can't understand how people doesn't get up from their chairs after hearing a thing like this. I'll be freaking out! Thanks for sharing the music Louis!
MB's lick, 4:17-4:19 is incredible; I've never heard a saxophonist play that pattern!
Just Michael Brecker doing Michael Brecker things.
I heard it in cannonball Adderleys solo in oleo live at the plaza 1959 with miles
1958
@@tallikimanimusic7127 That’s right !!
I believe stitt and Rollins did something similar
McCoy, Rest In Peace
Aaron Scott's drum solo is phenomenal. It's beautifully melodic. And thematic. If you don't understand how those terms play in relation to its being rhythmic or dynamic, you are missing what a good jazz drum solo is all about.
Boundless focused energy. We are blessed to have these examples of excellence.
One of Coltrane"s great compositions. Fantastic playing by all musicians.
Brecker is such a monster! Holy cow
(Not to mention the rest of the band)
How these men played all of them incredible and Brecker my hero along with the rest of them
Stunned by this brilliant performance and then the tenor sax/bass finish!!! Wow!
I don't understand how the audience is still sitting after this tune. Hell, that kind of performance would bring a paraplegic to his feet.
Joey van Leeuwen The audience was paralyzed by the brilliance of the performance.
Not everyone has to go crazy (child-like) to show appreciation. Sometimes just sitting and showing respect until the end is quite adequate.

Saw this quartet at Glasgow Jazz Festival brilliant then still brilliant now 👍👍👍🎷🎷🎷🎷
Love Brecker, he rocks !!!
Ladies and gentlemen the real McCoy
what a giant
Excellent!!! Ok, that being said, time to go practice!!!!!

Gorgeous
4:07 Aaron Scott is saying to himself "Damn son, this cat is so legit."
Outstanding, liked and subscribed. Brecker won a Grammy for the album solo!
Mike is killing it!!!!!
Absolutely killing!
Giants! Thank you for uploading this! 🙏🎶🎵🎷
He was always on fire. He lived to take it to next level and beyond and pulled all those around him to a higher musical consciousness. He was Mozart on steroids and crack, living in a f_cked up modern world.
Love the suit, Mike.
Fantastic clip. So much energy! Many thanks for sharing this with us. Bittersweet and beautiful.
Truly outstanding.
❤ klaipėda
This tune has been stuck on repeat on my cd player for the past 2 hours. :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-DMy neighbors know it by heart. :-):-):-):-):-):-)
Holy crap the way the drummer is SLAMMING McCoy’s accents with him, during a SOLO!
A little ‘Itsbyn Reel’..
Jesus Christ. This is amazing

You're very welcome Christoph!
Brecker, the only person who could even enter the same galaxy as coltrane
Also Jerry Bergonzi.Check out super-imposition of Giant Steps changes over "Night and Day" from the album "Standard Gonz" But yes, I love Micheal too.
Chris Potter
Jackson Burris I don't think so, I like Potter a lot but not even close to Brecker.
Jackson Burris Chris Potter definitely has the chops but not even close to the amount of soul as Brecker and Coltrane
Donald Roberts Indeed. Last time I caught him was with Bruce Gertz. George Garzone and Dino Govoni are two others that come to mind as well.
Excellent!
Wow I enjoyed that everyday I learn something new give flowers while your alive even a old tune can be brand new Arron Scott nice drummer MB never to be forgotten ❤ AS on bass bottom city for sure blue skys above MT let the keys sing as always really a blessing definitely a keeper no sleeper
2:56 that was so pocket
Pick any version you you like of this song when he plays it with McCoy. You'll find that it is his most shining moment.
Michael Brecker has been moving much faster than sound; hasn't he?
In about a decade's + time he must involuntarily leave this Earth plane - has to.
Tears with JOY must follow!
What joyful sadness!
Michael lives; long live Michael!
The drummer was amazing 🎶🎶🎶🎶🥁😎
3.45 quote from 'itbynne reel' from dont try this at home, 1988
Ha I was thinking the same exact thing
Nice one man!
The chops, the chops , Micheal, McCoy, Micheal, McCoy.....the message in song crosses all boundaries. Micheal is saying to himself I'm validated
Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:20, I fucking love that first line.
Met McCoy Tyner once and shook his hand. His hands were HUGE
Wow !
Thanx a lot !!!!!
Wow Factor 10. What a "Super-Combo"!
your channel is a gift. much appreciated.
Thank you so much for posting this Louis! I'm a huge fan of Michael's work and your website, it's always such a treat whenever a new video goes up. Keep up the great work!
Owwwwwwww How cool Louis! Thanks for your post.

Beautiful Music. I like it a lot!
Blow you away...this is jazz!
Un passage sans soutien harmonique, sax + batterie, un rêve
fire!!!!!!!
Cara,isso é surreal! Seloko
BRILLIANT... BRILLIANT AND WOW!!
Greatest Musicians....
MIKE!!!!!!! DAMN BROTHER!!!!!!!
There’s a clip I saw only recently of him in a class and going over to the drum set…he’s a really great jazz drummer too!
Best that ever lived. Maybe not the most influential like Bird, Trane, or Rollins, but nobody had control over the horn like Brecker man.
If we're voting on technique,but as we know there are other factors involved and Trane and Bird had lots of that certain thing that words can't explain.
マイケル ブレッカーが、演奏してる映像見れて嬉しいです!😉✨🎷
