Michael Brecker Kenny Barron - One Night in Tokyo (Full Album)

[@masayukimukai5125]

I was there as audience. I remember Michael had listen with smile all the time when Kenny played solo. Micheal really respect Kenny and micheal looks so happy.

Well I wish they'd Gotten a decent signal from the piano cause it sounds like it's outside in the hall.

I'm a big Brecker fan, and reading these comments, I can understand both points of view. I heard him many times in various settings...jazz fests and small clubs. It was the small club venues that really impressed me because you can really hear his sound without it being overly miked and get a sense of his level of concentration. Yes early in his career he had a lot of success in fusion or rock formats, (but I still the Brecker Bros. was pretty hard core). But later in his life, I feel his playing changed more towards traditional 60's era jazz, especially his tone. His sound on McCoy Tyner's album is beautiful, and he is playing in a bop style but still retaining his own approach. He played in more traditional jazz quartet settings as well. Maybe this recording simply shows that he is human. And who knows the story behind this gig. By the selection of tunes, it appears they called them out on the gig. Do we really think these guys got together to practice this set? Regardless of anyones opinion, no one can deny Michael Brecker is probably one the biggest influences on saxophonists since Trane, and he left us far too soon.

[@zeruchofficial]

Seen her live numerous times in different lineups, she's always a tight player and great in any ensenble.

[@mobiusII]

It's nice hearing Brecker's sound so directly and not through a PA and without effects!

[@musicalappreciation]

A very interesting set and Michael is brilliant as always.

[@dadoartbr]

Jazz is always better live! The bad quality of sound doesn’t matter at all in this case! They’re having fun and playing freely! What a wonderful opportunity to hear them playing standards! Thank you!

[@jazzsmells9341]

sehr , sehr schön - man hört einen intimen Brecker ohne allen technischen Sound , einen wahren Jazzmusiker

[@nicolasblondel5501]

"classical" repertoire with club sound and two sacred monsters who I guess played rarely together, that's delightfull ! Thanks !

[@xaulmatus]

Definitivamente escuchar un Cuarteto de esta clase es todo un privilegio. agradezco que esto se pudo grabar y años más tarde @saxology pudieras subirlo.

[@francoiscamin8006]

Nice discovery! Michael Brecker playing "in the Tradition"/Bop. The sound is a bit rough though, looks like live recordings from the late 50's! At times (especialy on Confirmation) it reminds me of Johnny Griffin. Thanks a lot for the upload!!!

[@thugiemaximum]

This the first drummer to make me cry.

[@andipeking2476]

great 👍

[@HGQjazz]

Cool!

[@nigelnash4264]

All the greatest but pay great attention to SYLVIA wow just so incredible the worlds best Nigel Nash in great britain

[@tariqamery4509]

WOW NICE!

[@patrickrossignol3096]

100% d'accord avec François ! c'est le Brecker que j'aime, sans clichés scolaires Berklee...Merci pour ce partage !

[@tiluriso]

Kenny Barron totally killing on the 'Autumn Leaves' solo - notice how they keep modulating, changing keys on the form. Killer gig, great band. Brecker was a true giant. This was probably recorded from the audience, hence drums are the loudest - since they are the most acoustically projecting instrument on the band stand, and conversely, piano and bass sound a bit dampened.

[@ammarmidani6358]

wow never realized they worked together

[@freddylebanon]

[@rafaellopessax]

Does anyone know where i can get this recording?

[@xaulmatus]

here :)

[@SOTESofficial]

I dont know... I like such a sound quality more than those high fidelity studio recordings of nowaday!

[@manuelpolanco4528]

what mouthpiece play michael brecker here

[@chrisdee8199]

I've never heard such a perfect rendition of Confirmation, this is how Charlie Parker should have played it.

[@mittyjing]

That sounds stupid

[@vittli]

Better to keep your mouth shut and appear a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt...

[@shmuliknemanov4009]

@@mittyjing he meant to say would have played it,

💚🌾🙄💛

[@erikpors9775]

I am a very big Michel Brecker fan and i am surprised at his sound here. He does not sound like Michael Brecker at all. very weird

[@frankhudek4916]

When was this recorded? Brecker's early jazz style was quit different. It changed over the decades.

[@sebastiansprotte2551]

I think it's the bad recording quality.. Just listen to the ride.. It's awful. :D

[@gisaac46]

Sounded like Breaker to me it's just that he is playing in an acoustic environment.

[@ziomanuzio]

beautiful concert, but I don't like the drumming.

[@rmoraespinto]

Drummer is too heavy and has a strange time feel.

[@vova47]

Most overrated saxophone player in the world! He couldn't even play Confirmation right, something most college students can do.

[@99alenp]

Please stop.

[@song4night]

Totally agree! imagine they're saying he's greater than Trane and the other greats!

[@vova47]

Milos Mamula - I have considered it and rejected and decided not to listen to this record anymore instead.

[@vova47]

Alen Pavlic - Why? Can't stand opinions that differ from yours? Run for safe space, snowflake!

[@vova47]

song4night - "they" certainly are talking trash.
