I have never seen a video where Randy enjoys Michael's playing like this. Just awesome

When I first moved to NYC, I used to see this band every time they played, usually at Boomer's on Bleecker St. They played this song all the time but I believe it was called "Hey Baby" at the time I saw them. All great solos but Mike's solo was ALWAYS tremendous and made me want to jump out of my seat during those stop times. God bless all of you!

I just had the thought that Vulfpeck must have been inspired by this - then I scrolled down and saw your comment :)

This tune speaks to my soul. It has a black gospel church thing going on and the Brecker Brothers treat it with such respect and class. I can feel that Mike was feeling this song on his solo. He absolutely captures the magic of the yells and spontaneous outbursts of praise for the Holy Spirit that one would hear at a black baptist church on Sunday morning. Let me say that as a saxophonist, there is so much information in this one song for any player or lover of music. An absolute master class on how to approach gospel and the blues. Thank you Hal Galper. RIP Mike Brecker

Music is art, and interpreted as such. Everyone's taste is certainly different, and I'm not going to troll on you for having a different opinion. I can assure you that I am not a jazz geek, but prefer blues, gospel, and soul. I do have an ear for jazz, but not what I lean toward as a player. To push back a bit on a few of your comments though. It doesn't get much simpler on melody than this. One can argue that many of (for example) Stevie Wonder's pop hits are more complicated than this tune. I take issue with your STIFF comment as well. Complete hogwash. There is more creativity, feeling, and soul in this one song than most popular vocal music put together. Ignorance of instruments and instrumental music is not a pass to criticize what you cannot understand. Oh yeah, and......Scripted????!!!! The melody surely is, (all are) but the solos are IMPROVISED sir. Unlike any pop music. I once heard Simon Cowell say that jazz was too self indulgent for him. Maybe you're in his camp, but I prefer the indulgence of instrumental jazz over a formulated, over simplified, dumbed down popular vocal music genre any day. Just my humble opinion, of course.

Testimony by Hal here, who is making I think deep comments in this amazing piece. I agree with BenT. below, here; the 'Amazing-Grace' intro- broken into increasingly disparate fragments is meaningful. The faltering , falling down, and trying to get up after a 'quart of whiskey, is familar to many blues and jazz-men. The Gospel salvation starts to come in Michael's solo: I'v never heard him sound so like a brother. Wow ! This is acknowledgement, redemption coming even for the losers, without a 'dime-in-their pocket. I found this recently and I can hear it, my testimony. Peace, joy, love and soul-salvation through music. Much love for posting

The LP's and CD's of this quintet are stellar. Thanks again for your devotion to Michael Brecker. A little connection that Michael studied with then Philadelphia saxophonist Vince Trombetta for awhile. I also studied with Vince for a long time. Vince was on the Mike Douglas show studio band for the entire run of that long gone talk show....if you're old enough to remember it...haha !!!
