impressions Michael Brecker and Rembrandt Frerichs (Piano)trio

[@jameswhite7128]

Michael took this heavenly bound music with him. We miss it...

[@yahbitchyah777]

Dang mike...if you can hear me call out to you in your practice room in heaven, I wish to say are the most moving musician I have EVER come across. Thank you for leaving us this legacy of yours.

[@Indestructable61]

Brecker and Coltrane were such freaks when it came to multiphonics, It's unreal how they both mastered the saxophone in almost every way

[@wyndhl9465]

Jake Smith: Yeah! Practice makes perfect - as demonstrated by the great Mike.

[@emilianoturazzi]

@@wyndhl9465 it's not enough :) it is necessary, but not enough - I wouldn't became as good as them if I played 12 hours a day all life long

[@ogdTo]

Once again, ... thank you Mr. Michael Brecker.

[@flangeres1752]

Incredible as always. We all will treasure the memory of Mike and his music. C.G.T. Ukiah ,CA

[@wyndhl9465]

Michael IS probably the most well-loved saxophonist on the earthsphere. He was as humane as he was saxophonistically technical.

[@mgiaca]

Out standing and technically the best.

[@pusanghalaw]

how i miss michael brecker!

[@mrmikespence1964]

THE "GREATEST" JAZZ MUSIC! TENOR SAXOPHONIST! OF ALL TIME! THE LEGENDARY! MICHAEL BRECKER! REST IN PEACE!

[@MissaChickapea]

i almost feel sorry for people who can't hear jazz i feeel i was lucky to hear this music and when people say i love all music i just laugh on the inside and say i know what you mean.

[@pacolecce]

questa è la migliore versione di impression che abbia mai sentito. Grande brecker...

[@mjramsden13]

Outstanding! Outrageous! Out...there! Thank you.

[@stratoholic706]

Outstanding brecker. Cool how he plays Coltrane stuff here and there but does it totally in his own way. Still sounds Brecker.

[@JJ_Photo]

Funny, but I all hear is Brecker. According to himself, he was inspired much more by Joe Henderson. I can't hear that either. To me Brecker is Brecker. He played like only he could. Thank God for that! I really miss his wonderful funky playing....

[@emilianoturazzi]

I've always heard a lot of Cltrane in his playing - but he could obviously find his own style

[@Modes9]

I came here knowing that Mike would burn as always. This piano player was a pleasant surprise. All of that triad and suspended superimposition in his solo knocked me out!

[@mikebrecker1690]

gimme a thumbs up if your hip to the itsbynne reel quote? Brecker is part of the history of jazz and left a rich legacy. One of the masters. Blessings be upon all who appreciate this art form. x

[@VincentHoudijk]

Hee Rembrandt, helemaal te gek. Wat een eer dat je met Brecker hebt mogen spelen, zeg! Super. Is echt een van mn grootste helden. Ik mag komend jaar bij Mike Mainieri lessen gaan volgen. Ook helemaal te gek. Krijg ik dus n btje indirect les van Brecker, hehe! Hopelijk tot ziens in Tburg (misschien n8 vd muziek) Greetz, Vincent Houdijk

[@stevem6587]

I always imagine Michael got to heaven and God was like "OK, you have to tell me what you were doing on ___ recording".

[@meanmud1]

Brilliant!

[@MuriloOspmPMMG]

Nádegas a declarar. Simplesmente perfeito.

[@bravobello748]

I ❤️ Jazz 🎶👏👏👏

[@ogdTo]

Moi j'trouve que Brecker est fascinant dans l'sens ou son jeu est extrêmement net, tout est absolument propre et millimétré. La perfection à ce point, ça dépasse le simple travail. C'est autre chose. C'est fascinant.

[@Josefrojas777]

Its not a matter of who is better. One listens to poetry for their pleasure. Not to evaluate their skill level.

[@doko73]

Very well put, very very good reply to that foolishness. I appreciate all musicians and once they reach that level, why compare... Just enjoy.

[@StrasbourgStDenis]

Brecker really likes quoting Itsbynne Reel

[@lottierose8668]

just killin

[@blueyedboymrdeath]

Ouch... cut off at the end! Hot!! Sounds like Michael was having a good time. I like the way the drummer gets behind Brecker around 3:30 and by around 4:00 starts to really kick things along.

[@michaelbaird4823]

After hearing Brecker play that amazing tasteful, incredible solo what good could possibly come after?

[@brwnhornet59]

Smokin!

[@penguinzrule7]

Such an amazing solo. Is there a transcription of this anywhere?

[@gijsish]

The other musicians are Uli Glasman (b) and Gijs Dijkhuizen (d). Grtz Gijs

[@SquatchyBunker]

Awesome solos, but why couldn't we let the chart play out to the end? Love Mike though! Miss him...

[@AppleTrapezoid]

woah

[@bkjbs762]

...n an earlier "book of jazz history as a "popular" post-bop tenor player "who plays with a lot of emotion" That's true, he plays after the bop era (post-bop) he's a tenor player, he plays with a lot of emotion, and he is insanely popular... what is your point, i find the discription quite accurate.

[@quinsanity]

Guys, let's keep in mind that the best thing about jazz is the freedom of expression. We all start off as clones, it's a process. Charlie Parker was a huge influence to Jackie Mcclean, Phil Woods, Cannonball and the list goes on.... Think of it this way,.The best thing is that they kept the music alive. As long as they sound exactly the same, who cares.

[@lottierose8668]

is that smoke coming off the bass players fingers ?

[@19Lqueen17]

Once, Jackie McLean was playing in a bar and after the concert, someone aproached him and said that he was copying Bird. Then, he said that that was the purpose, he wanted to sound like bird, that he wanted to be like Charlie Parker. After all, that's what Brecker wanted, to play like Trane, nowadays, every young saxophonist wants to play like Brecker, see the point? (as well as Trane probably wanted to sound like Hawkins, or Lester Young, or someone else)

[@wyndhl9465]

Lucas Quinamo: You make the "truest" sense - on point.

[@alexmanoukas1096]

lol not true

[@dneil8867]

i DONT COMPARE MUSICIANS that have reached that elite status, it makes no sense. All musicians learn from each other, its a compliment to be compared to peers. Brecker was ELITE, it's just a matter of which i prefer at that moment...

[@vielhaboy]

Itsbynne Reel !!!!! ajajajajajajajajajajajajajajja yeeeeaaaahhh!!! :D That man is GOD !!

[@IberianInteractive]

@boricuatrumpet69 did you really read what it was written? I dont know if you really get it

[@MasterCoachUniversity]

sounds great. piano should lay out 1/2 way through.

[@1337Pwn4g3]

@sonybanez C'est évident que Coltrane était un des meilleurs de tout le temps mais Brecker jouait cette chanson aussi bien que Coltrane. Il y a beaucoup de notes mais coltrane faisait la meme chose. On l'appelle "sheets of sound". I hate when people say that brecker and coltrane play to many notes, i mean melodies are great an all the sheets of sound is really the only unexplored territory.. theres melody in tons of notes its like modal melody

[@Navroze]

a jazz saxophonist has to play IMPRESSIONS.... like a classical pianist has to play Bach... Brecker has done great and more

[@Vonette76]

Who is on piano

[@yvonne243]

Vonette76 Rembrandt Frerichs

[@wyndhl9465]

With speed faster than sound, Michael deposits tsunamis of notes with unapologetic brilliance. 'Trane: Joe Farrell, Pharaoh Sanders, Courtney Pine, Michael Brecker, Bob Berg, Chris Vadala, Shawn Wallace, Chris Potter... In his OWN lane is James Carter - all by HIMSELF.

[@danbunch1514]

Wyndhi and you sound just like a jazz journalist played on too stiff of a read(reed) sax pun.

[@danzbmw]

I used to have this on CD, with Mc Coy Tyner... I had a fun little 05/ M-3 interlagos Blue Comp...Some slimy slithering theif broke out my window and stole my Cd's and the CD (MB) from the player. Wish they took the Bimmer and left me my CD's

[@1337Pwn4g3]

[@jazzuffe]

Great and more thann so , but Tranes Impressions is the song. Especially with Eric Dolphy.

[@ianhendersonjazz]

He WAS a Coltrane clone...at least early in his career he was. They all were. All Brecker Liebman, Grossman, and Garzone were trying to do back in the day was copy Trane. Brecker was even quoted in the 70's saying he wish he were Trane. That being said, they all branched out and grew into their own identities on the horn. But, even with Brecker's own identity, I still hear Trane lines in almost every one of his solos.

[@wyndhl9465]

ianhendersonjazz ...hearing 'Trane in Brecker... Brecker himself might have said: "That's a good thing; I have achieved ONE aspect - - - my initial aspect of saxophone mastery. "Thanks to John, my idol and de facto mentor." Be that as it may, to even the jazz neophyte, Mike cannot be mistaken for John - vice versa. Each has his own sound-voice as well as spiritual and emotional feel. Despite that, one can adore and admire both of them equally. I do; am sure you do too.

[@ianhendersonjazz]

If that statement was logical and had anything to do with what I said whatsoever, maybe I would be a little offended. But please, enlighten me on your ways of music, oh wise one.

[@19Lqueen17]

I'm sad to think about Berg, Because he's one of the greatest sax players of all times, but he's not that well-know nor reconized... And he died too soon... =/

[@wyndhl9465]

Lucas Quinamo: Yeah! That's one of my guys from the "John Coltrane University Of Organic Real Jazz Studies". Wayne Shorter. '30; Joe Farrell, '37 (?), Pharaoh Sanders. '40; Mike Brecker, '49; Bob Berg, '51; Joe Levano, '52; Chris Potter, '71(?) - - - chasing the 'Trane. Charles Lloyd, '(?)... chasing the 'Trane.

[@raulvalente]

brecker is the BEST.berg is the best,potter is the best,coltrane is the best... no clones

[@sonybanez]

Coltrane a tout fait sur ce morceau, mais respect a brecker qui se bat comme un diable. Le problème de Brecker c'est qui tricote trop. il devrait relancer des mélodies en fin de phrase.

[@MrRaelsax]

a pessoa que votou negativo não entende nada de musica

[@jiyujizai]

遅いテンポのはないかな。

[@sonybanez]

Coltrane a tout fait sur ce morceau, mais respect a brecker qui se bat comme un diable. Le problème de Brecker c'est qui tricote trop. il devrait relancer des mélodies en fin de phrase en balançant une reprise sur l’aigu en conservant une melodie sur 8 mesures

[@tdeane34]

You obviously don't know anything about music.

[@racegrlcher24]

I love this version of Impressions so much!!! These cats are playing up tempo and swingin big time and, Michael Breaker plays his a-- off!!! When I am not homeless anymore and I am able to hook up all my music gear and record again, I will post a new Hank Corvinus Version of Impressions on to my MySpace Music and maybe post a you tube if I can come up with a camera of some kind. Hank Corvinus.

[@horbergus]

Nice playing, but what the fuck is the bassplayer doing? No swing at all
