Michael Brecker "Nothing Personal" Wiesen Jazz Festival Austria

[@gregrodman]

"scariest place in the world- onstage having to follow a michael brecker solo" pat metheny

[@richardpotter7298]

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.

[@richardpotter7298]

Btw not many know..Mike could cut up a bit on drums....God Bless the Saxophone Jesus.... a fuckin MONSTER

[@pruchechristophe1173]

Ce n'est pas pat Metheny qui joue mais son meilleur pote...

[@asmith011000]

Good thing the guitarist is Mike Stern then.

[@mrsandbergmusic]

1:08 Michael Brecker (12 choruses) 4:55 Mike Stern (14 choruses) 9:12 Joey Calderazzo (12 choruses) ...I have too much time on my hands. I think I've literally devoted nearly a day's time over the last 8 years to watching this.

[@jonl1034]

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."

[@aaronhorvath3291]

So this is the level at which all all musicians hope and wish they could achieve. What a killer group.

[@sbaiar]

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.

[@dylankubilus1422]

Scott Baiar absolutely the quintessential sound

[@bradlucid]

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.

[@sbaiar]

@@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. ☹️

[@ArturoSandovalTrumpet]

wowwwwww, my God, amazing band. I wonder those 20 people that disapproved of this on KZbin??? This is one of the best videos I ever saw in my life.

[@wesrampton7124]

Arturo, Maestro: "It takes one to know one..."

[@AlecC0l]

Absolutely love this performance mike stern is nuts

[@hybrid-butterfly]

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.

[@ArturoSandovalTrumpet]

@@hybrid-butterfly I LOVE THEM ALL, MICHAEL, JOEY, JEFF, ADAM, AND MIKE.

[@AlecC0l]

@@hybrid-butterfly understandable I just like his bebop lines

[@alexdefrancisco3066]

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...

[@signorpresidente7340]

6 years ago.. it still is today.

[@upbnap2119]

Man we all know the greatness of Joey Calderazzo, but still, the way he holds his own after all the solos... Damn!

[@rickperlstein9988]

Especially at this...relaxed tempo!

[@oldguywithpedals]

Yeah, and how old was he at the time? Like 9 or something 😅

[@mcmike100]

I was fortunate to have seen this band many times. It was some of the most intense musical experiences I've ever had.

[@JoeCiliberto]

Mike Stern!

[@signorpresidente7340]

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.

[@ixamedia6572]

Got to underscore Jeff Andrews Amazing Bass mastery!

[@howardrobinson4938]

And off to the moon. And if Nussbaum wasn't chewing that gum, none of this would be possible. Thanks Adam.

[@MacTeee]

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!

[@bayesian2007]

Then check out Stern’s performance on Softly As In A Morning Sunrise with Harvie S(wartz) and Alan Dawson.

[@andretwigt8788]

MIKE STERN TOO

[@PeterOMaraJazzGuitar]

Don´t forget Jeff Andrews on bass!

[@Monkeygroover]

Look at him at 15:17 :-)

[@ignacioruiz4327]

The best four strings bass player

[@alanholford3545]

monstrous player.

[@shilorada3404]

Wowewww the king of saxophone

[@vi99da32]

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.

[@segundojazz]

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.

[@gardinselmer1005]

There are no words to describe how mind boggling good this is....??? Awesome

[@MarceloMoraisGuitar]

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!!!

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

Viva John Coltrane! Viva Michael Brecker! Viva Bob Berg! Viva Sal Nestico! Viva Stanley Turrentine! Viva Red Prysock!

[@jibsmokestack1]

Calderazzo is on fire! Almost McCoy like!

[@A423-f9o]

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!!!!!

[@polynesianguitar1851]

@@A423-f9o wow

[@polynesianguitar1851]

He's only 24 here and he's right up there.

[@Zaursax]

My favorite jazz band

[@evanjones6150]

Real Jazz right there. Mr Brecker was one of the best.

[@vmertane]

Minor Blues... that’s how you do it! This version is also available as a recording with two other live takes.

[@Charles-Robitaille]

The whole band is on FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ricardofranciszayas]

The dynamics are extraordinary

[@juhintao3605]

They're all all monsters of enormous talent, Joey Calderazzo solo moved my perception of musical beauty to unknown and unexplored concepts.

[@pianojonathan]

ju hintao his solo on Resolution is killer. It is on youtube

[@markviman]

Powerful Michael Brecker

Jesus Christ nussbaum is a god damn monster, this whole band is like an electro revival of tranes quartet in terms of fire

[@vocoded5290]

After seeing these videos from the 80's Nussbaum is absolutely my favorite drummer. his sound and style are incredible.

[@JulianFernandez]

THAT´S FIRE RIGHT THERE... GOSH, THANKS FOR SHARING. STERN WAS PARTICULARLY ON FIRE... ADAMMMMM. Thanks!

[@GregFishman]

What an amazing performance. I really miss Michael. Thanks for posting this.

Adam Nussbaum,what a groove.

[@kenmarshall8371]

Stern was on fire

[@room34]

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!

[@vextract4662]

Hi, I've seen every great player in the world many of them live. From Ellis Marcellus to Paco De Lucia and every great pop, jazz, rock ,metal player in the world. I've never seen anyone climb a higher musical mountain than that piano solo. I'm not bragging, I have played classical and jazz for many years and been around, I KNOW music. I'm just a little older and have seen a lot, this truly is one of the best hyper sonic jams I've ever seen. I saw return to forever on their brief reunion with Jean Luc Ponty and Frank Gambale so that was close to this especially with Stanley Clark and Chic Corea. They did not have Michael tho, trust me this one is it.

[@adammcculloch5614]

This is just fantastic

[@tomslavinsky1105]

Miss Mike so much. Peace

[@ewi4000]

Me too Tom.

Joey is exciting!

[@wernerreiter201]

So good - saw this live in Wiesen and was flashed ....

[@wyndhl9465]

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?

[@hshlom]

Joey Calderazzo gets a chance to blow the doors off an up tempo straight-ahead tune On A Bosendorfer Piano!!!!

[@richardpotter7298]
