Michael Brecker African Skies

[@grahambeyer1]

Definition of 'Virtuoso' demonstrated right here. Thank you Michael Brecker for showing what is possible.

What a wonderful piece of music. Michael Brecker was unbeliavable!!!

[@Carsonsaxplayer]

Aside from the tremendous sax playing, I can hear him drumming in his head along with this solo.

[@christianheidenreich3673]

His tone and phrasing are unique. Some have tried to imitate it, but he will always peak out from hundreds of others.

Grande Michael, hai lasciato un vuoto enorme!

[@stephenmckenzie2338]

Is there a recording of this concert?

[@MrNiwa4]

I always wondered why the tune is titled "African". Not that I know well about the continent, but the recording from Tales from Hudson didn't sound African to me at all. Now I listen to his solo, I think I get a better sense of what he means by the title. Thanks for posting! And, thanks Michael RIP.

[@yuptasty]

I agree with your opinion about that recording, and I'd recommend giving the original Brecker Brothers recording a listen (from Out of the Loop). It reflects quite a bit more of its title in its groove.

[@MrNiwa4]

I came across with the album after I wrote above comment and I kept nodding while I was listening to it. I love the orchestration as well as this solo.

[@fredericcrutel397]

Please listen the Marc Beacco release in Tomato Soup Album, a jazz vocal track with M. Brecker as sax sideman. You will undestand the African mood of this marvelous track, African Skies. Enjoy !

Wiping the spit off his hand at 3:55 ?

[@suh-huggebnu-hegge1742]

nah, he did a fluff!

[@graxjpg]

Yeah that was a goof, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.

[@TheAaronRodgersTao]

Either explanation is possible.

[@christianheidenreich3673]

Maybe a cramp in his fingers?

[@jiyujizai]

このようなソロ演奏を、すべてのサックス🎷奏者にやって欲しい。

[@Zxx459]

Same licks....his last album was a disappointment...
