Michael Brecker - Blue Bossa - 1985

[@vincentdublino7136]

Why is it when I try to play 'outside' it sounds outside. And when Michael Brecker does it, it just sounds like music. RIP MB

[@DanielBaldwinSax]

It just has to resolve and be structured

[@adoniyeshua424]

Because this, is, mich 😊

[@enochchristiansen490]

It has to be melodic

[@RyanWhitehead1]

He practiced a LOT more

[@OrdinaryPJ]

because he's not trying to play "outside". he just plays

[@Noone-wo2ik]

Michael brecker was a living and walking improv genius. "There is no treacherous position in jazz other than being the guy standing on the band stand who has to take a solo after Michael brecker" -pat Metheny

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

So true, really few could keep up with his energy, like Mike Stern, Arturo Sandoval or Mike Manieri.

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

Michael Breaker has departed physically but still resides in our midst Spiritually.

[@daikichiTS]

this gig was performed in Tokyo,Jazz Club Aoyama Body & Soul. I was there.

[@harrytoulson2990]

Lucky you... 😱❤️

[@harrytoulson2990]

Did you get to speak to him afterwards?

[@dakopis]

He just never ran out of ideas. Yeah, there's the occasional repeat but man, 5 minutes of soloing over a remedial standard and mostly one new idea after another!

[@leetomboulian]

Andy Kopis: Remedial?

[@raginbakin1430]

Well, I think that having repetition and developing themes while soloing is generally a good thing.

[@samre234]

right, like Getz.

[@Jordan-ll5eq]

If you listen to Brecker enough you’ll hear some ideas he uses often but they always fit perfectly

[@mattgarbutt254]

@@leetomboulian yes, little-known fact: Blue Bossa was written for children with learning difficulties 😂

[@EphemeralProductions]

One of the best sax players of the 20th century. RIP to him!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Wow.

[@zmatedragon]

Despite the low quality footage, Brecker can still play like a god.

[@ritwikbanerji2026]

man how much more peak 80's jazz can you get? I'm scratching my nose like crazy and I haven't even gotten 2 minutes in!

[@marielamartinez2840]

Monstruo del saxofón !!!!!!!! un number one !!!!!!!!!

[@keithk.3963]

Thank you for this. Just incredible endless energy. If he were a hunter, there would be nothing left alive. lol

[@jazzbob7]

Michael goes in and out so easily and makes so much musical sense. It is just wonderful.

[@guitarpleya]

you can really see there Henderson's influence on him

[@ricaard]

Indeed.

[@nicolaseverino]

In un solo pezzo ha suonato tutta la storia del Jazz e ne ha inventato di nuovo...ancora oggi è avanti a tutti di 100 anni.

[@kostakutay8036]

RIP Michael Brecker thank you for changing my life

[@Ichiban001]

Too sad that both Michael and Roppongi Pit-inn were gone. Wonderful play!

[@adalgisadonofrio1705]

Grazie Michael Brecker.❤

[@AlexanderIoakimMusic]

Brecker you BEAST! What a legend....

[@ZeAlfredo]

this proves rhythm and melody are king

[@DihelsonMendonca]

And harmony is the mother of both 🎉🙏👍

[@ZeAlfredo]

@@DihelsonMendonca i respect it

[@TIMG128]

Great Brecker...along with Steve Gadd over playing everything...as usual!!!!

[@eliminemusic]

MY FIRST JAZZBOSSA SONG ON THE PIANO!!! The best version EVER!!!! jeaf!

[@OgnyanNachev]

What a Michael, what a solo, what licks

[@oharawinter]

Thanks for sharing! So awesome… Those where the days!

[@JJamJ]

Awesome. Gomez, Brecker and Gadd. I’m in heaven😍

[@yggdrasil9039]

Blue Bossa disassembled.

[@harrymaund981]

*reassembled

[@MaxRevitt]

Deconstructed

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

​@@MaxRevittNot really, from a regular jazz fan's perspective, this sounds mostly straightforward in the spirit of the original recording. If you wanna check real "deconstruction", check Miles Davis cover of 'Round Midnight', for example.

[@MaxRevitt]

😂

[@tophotoproducciones1]

Sin comentarios por ser Michael Breker que se es una representación histórica del instrumento...

[@jmans8000]

Wow. I love this! Michael is the best! And an amazing band behind him!

[@SidLaw500]

Brecker's an all-time great!

[@XasNitram]

he has heard & played this tune before it seems

[@davekana8388]

Mean Man Mike, holy sheez! Nothing left unexplored.

[@Thouveninpascal]

French journalistic criticism took thirty years to recognize Michael Brecker's exceptional qualities.

[@ZeAlfredo]

@Carlos Schvartzman by balancing in playing and outplaying while using target tones he masterfully can play anything over the chages. he also takes rhythmic consonance into consideration in his manipulations of time and balances rhythmic conconance and dissonance. brilliant. melodic development is something he uses frequently as welll.

[@Vayshen]

Heh he looks like an office bum here xD "Hey guys, I just got back from working in the cubicle, let's play!" *distorts time and space to achieve amazing time and melodic lines*

[@LCohenSax]

Jeez he really knows Blue Bossa.

[@monkcocolahvera8270]

😂 🤣😭

[@kradomirchoukroutov6362]

I play tenor sax, and when I hear this, it makes me feel like switching to reed pipe....

[@emilianoturazzi]

that's obvious :) I think it make the same effect even to lots of better saxophone player than me (I play alto and clarinet) - even if this isn't my favourite style his command of the instrument (and his value as an artist) is unbelievable.

[@faustus5481]

Kradomir Choukroutov - I used to play trumpet but then I heard Freddie Hubbard. Soon after, I made a very nice lamp out of my horn.

[@jaccochrysler]

Michael is THE man, period...

[@harrylime7938]

Wooo. What playing is this, man!

[@westengesell7421]

@4:49, he riffs on the same lick that Chris Potter does in his viral performance with Snarky Puppy

[@rinahall]

it's the inverse, you idiot !

[@ethanlander4252]

true! or very similar at least

[@rexmelgoza4703]

Correction: Chris potter riffed on the same lick MB played

[@raybrook6150]

Unbelievable!

[@Fiddlingflynns]

I wish I could see Eddie’s right hand a little more clearly. Really nice percussive playing

[@michaelpowell7120]

Michaels sarcasm to play the head a half step lower is hilarious. What a smart ass. Can you imagine how sick he was of "Blue Bossa" the wedding jazz theme!
