The highlight of this concert for me is the sax drums intro with Michael Brecker and Antonio Sanchez in full on beast mode. Absolutely unbelievable!!

[@familytreemusic]

Really great, brought back a Coltrane/Elvin duets vibe.

[@ThomasHutchingsMusic]

HELL YES! MISS YOU, MIKE!

[@Kcets]

Jesus H. Christ, this should have 500 billion views. Michael is such a BEAST.

[@Devpatterson]

"It's coming from a kind of a hybrid" says Brecker during the interview. That's spot on and exactly what makes Breckers music so exciting, refreshing and adventurous. What a special live performance this is. RIP you great tenorist, musician & composer!

[@icandream9]

Mike looked so happy. This concert is amazing.

[@christophertown7136]

The trumpet player at 40 minutes came out of nowhere... and was fucking perfect, amazing, concise. Wow. yea. As hard is Mike is to follow, good job. That is possibly the most well-balanced, exciting, solo I've heard in a long time. Kick ass.

[@williambone6566]

Great player I agree - It's a flugel horn

Alex Sipiagin is SICK!

[@billabbott6092]

Untouchable.....if you have the ears to wrap your head around what he is actually playing?

[@Devpatterson]

MB~YES YES YES!!!! FINALLY A LIVE CONCERT OF THIS RECORD!!!! Awesome record!!!!

[@PabloVestory]

The genuine good time and joy all those seasoned musicians are having playing Itsbynne Reel with Michael is absolutely moving

[@aldostella7585]

Caro Micheal la tua musica è sempre viva,sempre nuova, sempre sorprendente, ma però ci manchi tanto. Un abbraccio!

[@luismeviyu28]

Cada cosa que veo y escucho de Brecker supera lo anterior.... Que músico fantástico!!!

[@josephvitovito]

Africa Brass, Coltrane, a classic, and this is just as good if not better...........Left us too early...

[@Kujalamuse]

Brecker at the peak of his powers. Nothing short of astounding. I've watched this concert a number of times now, and one of the things that I enjoy are the reactions of the guys and gals in the "band"! They are SO digging what they are hearing, It's commendable that they can maintain enough focus to not lose their place in the music and be able to come in on their next entrance, play their beautifully written parts, and not be 'distracted' by the genius tenor playing of their leader. In particular, I enjoy seeing the reactions of my friend Bob Sheppard (in the middle of the WW section) who is himself a world-class bad-ass tenor player and jazz musician. RIP, Michael.

[@papagreenemusic]

Brecker was always at the peak of his powers! ;-)

[@wardlewis35]

i saw this band in new york a number of nights always left floating on air he was always so nice i miss him

[@freddylebanon]

Bob is amazing in his own right as is this whole ensemble..yet the band sounds as one ..all for one and all for the music..excellent

[@PabloVestory]

And Michael had a good time and was really happy with absolutely every note he was hearing from the band, rubber duck included 47:05

[@nikolademitri731]

I think that, after Trane, Brecker may be the best. It’s hard to say, there are a handful of saxophonists who are hard to rank, bc they’re all so incredible, but for my own personal rank, I put him that high on the list of GOAT jazz saxophonists.. RIP❤️♾

[@DihelsonMendonca]

And I even think that trane comes in second or third 🥉.

[@CristianoFrankSax]

Michael Brecker forever my top sax list.

[@AndrewJanusson]

Love this performance so much!

[@jasonmurray8040]

[@antoniosica4662]

dopo j coltrane,Art Pepper, M Brecker e' stato l'ultimo grande sassofonista innovativo al massimo e mostro di tecnica

[@fmazzarolo]

Pienamente d'accordo.

[@familytreemusic]

Ce ne sono diversi, ma perlomeno Wayne Shorter andrebbe menzionato subito dopo Coltrane, per l'enorme impatto che ha avuto sulla musica del XX° e XXI° secolo.

[@stevesmith-fb1py]

The best tenor since Coltrane. If not better. If there is such a thing

[@thebreathalyzer]

Hard to compare, but Mike was so influential on the vocabulary of modern players. More than just about anyone I can think of. Similar to Coltrane, who had a similar impact.

[@supersqdleader]

こんな素晴らしい演奏なら是非CD化して欲しい。宜しくお願いします。
