Brings me to tears. Absolutely gorgeous. Written by Mike Stern and is a masterpiece.

[@juergenreichenbach643]

Cant stop listening to it - so beautiful ❤

[@codfather6583]

Easily one of the most beautiful saxophone solos ever!

[@ericthomas4051]

Sheer jazz beauty. Such a haunting number. Mike Brecker is so sadly missed.

[@OlavoLuisatto]

Amazing. In this solo and Michael's improvisation it seems that Michael was saying goodbye to the ground. You make me cry Michael. I will be your fan forever. RIP Michael. We miss you!! :(

[@alexbern5188]

2020!!!! One of the best live jazz performances!!! We miss you, Michael....

[@billiongenius]

I’ve noticed in a few videos where Randy and Michael are playing together, you can tell Randy just loves Michael and sees his eminence as one of the quintessential musicians of our time. At least that’s what I think. Brotherly love and respect.

[@tomahzo]

I absolutely adore Mike's intro and the transition when the rest of the band comes in. Great song.

[@EixtremeDrummer]

One of my favourite ballads ever. Thanks Mike for creating such amount of beauty

[@_tgwilson_]

RIP Michael Brecker. One of the greatest ever Sax players. Listen and learn.

[@spliffybiggy]

from Stern's majestic intro to Mike Breckers absolutely mindblowing solo, this is one of my favourite piece of music on KZbin.

[@joaoluiz6088]

Professor Mike Brecker , dominava sax tenor, coisa linda 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@marcohijl793]

Pfffff one of the most beautiful Michael B solo ever! I was there and it struck me like lightning. Thanks for the upload.

[@alexbern5188]

Yea.... miss him.

[@gertvink]

Wow... What a lifetime experience that must have been 😮

[@DaveSolazzo]

what a beautiful tune!

[@docnelson2008]

I am not a massive fan of Mike Stern's guitar sound but I must say that I like his work with the Brecker Brothers. Michael's magic is missed. Seeing him in person, sitting a few feet away was my idea of jazz heaven; Great upload -thanks!

[@skalpel56]

one of the best tune I ever heard.......

[@Var788]

Beautiful intro Mike ! Great composition ! Thanks so much...

[@bartvanderworp2707]

Full of beauty. Magnificent.

[@doubleinstruments6453]

Wonderful; from a small town in France

[@Nathansax.]

Mestre Michael B. Ficou pra história do saxofone. Outro igual ainda não existe!!

[@smeegol1976]

10:33 what the hell just happened? I think I may have just heard the most mind-blowing single bar of music I’ve ever heard in my life.

[@Saxeh]

I'll second that.

[@petrdvoracek670]

He turned into beast

[@funklover24]

9:30 - Randy seems to be happy with Dave's drumming. See ya guys in summer 2013! :D

[@metaphor5533]

Genius

[@stefanoincardona976]

Capolavoro assoluto

[@heldon17]

Anyone know if Mike ever changed his sax set up. I love the timbre from this era.

[@horatiomeisslaufner5104]

If Mike still plays?

[@nicolasmlopezz]

8:14

[@pascaljeanne8002]

monstrueux lol brecker was monstrueux !

[@hobie1dog]

I wish I could have taken that damned mute and smashed it with a sledgehammer. You shouldn't ever ruin the sound of a trumpet

[@markhiggins8315]

I guess you hate Miles Davis. His signature sound is produced with that Harmon mute.
