[@sandrovaro]

Thank you maestro for a great music!!!

[@darylcadman2863]

The Art Of Tee. Best album. Living in New Zealand dont get to see enough of this beautiful music. He came out here once with Crossfire. Missed it. 😢. He is such a class act. Followed him since the 70s The musos are all top of there game session players.... The sax player here is Chris Hunter. Thinkn The Art Of Tea album he used some Crusaders players.... Joe Sample fender Rhodes electric piano.

[@heatheramos9361]

Agree...I'm in NZ too and listen to his music all the time....esp like his "Summer in New York" at the moment....his music is never boring!!

[@jimtakahashi4638]

I’m in NZ too, but was in JPN when I came to know and love his music in the 70’s. As far as I know, his popularity started in JPN.

[@rorytors]

Was lucky to see him and Crossfire at wellington town hall in 1980. will never forget

[@toddfouts]

I think this is the show I attended in November 1990 at the Nakano Sun Plaza in Tokyo. A wonderful memory, and my first of many Michael Franks concerts.

[@alvarojoseleon]

One of the best musicians and composer I have ever heard, with such a beautiful music.I love this guy.

[@jamiroquiagirl3821]

I so love you and still desire to see you in person one day been loving since I was 10 years old! 40 years a fan! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@leonard_lemetz]

Я открыл для себя творчество Майкла Фрэнк а ещё в начале 90-х годов 20 века... Сначала услышал по радио, в джазовой программе, потом были кассеты и СД. Жаль, что он не так популярен у нас, хотя его по праву можно назвать уже "классиком" софт-джазового направления!

[@RalfS777]

I love Michael Franks and his very talented group of musicians he had accompanying him!!

[@lesliehilesgardener6959]

Lady STILL wants to know HOW who what's the Secret hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 love you forever 🤣 glad your laughing and smiling 😁

[@lesliehilesgardener6959]

That sleep helped. I thought it was 530 am hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 love you

[@katelivewire]

So cool to know that Michael was/is a vegetarian!!! Never expected that

[@katelivewire]

@ekhangel in hindsight, it completely does! But I guess I wasn't expecting it cuz it's not exactly the most common :)

[@raysherlock6023]

Excellent concert!

[@fineart10]

Oustanding.... He is one of the best composer all times.... So charm, hot, sensual music....

[@Galacsia]

[@suryosaputro336]

amazing guitar solo 8:50 - 11:43

[@stephanleo]

Yes!

[@binoardev]

Kindly post the names of musicians. Thanks

[@hansumjoe]

I've only seen him a few times, but he's one of the few artists who doesn't put 1/2 of the new tunes in the set to sell the latest record (which most do)...he lets the jukebox stand on its own. I prefer his polished latest 80's/early 90's stuff to the more recent samba stuff

[@gouduleme2]

Totally agree ! He should stay in his specially : west coast. Nothing is more boring than playin kinda pseudo Brazilian soap... that’s not Brazilian at all. Just piano-bar music. Nonetheless, his voice and his charusm save the Job. I bought all his records since 1979 and love his last LP although it’s Brazil soap again. The two opening titles are MFs area. The last songs are murdered by Otmaro Ruiz, the serial looser weak jazz pianist : he did the same massacre with Gino Vannelli.... Gino commited the same mistake as Francks : he tried to bifurcated onto soap jazz and Brazil soap, forgetting his huge funk fusion initial style, or west coast with his loud sweet voice but it didn’t work at all : it turned to massacre , by firing any guitarist and funk fusion bass player for a kind of hybrid weak bass player jazz-like upright flat bass ( heresy..) , firing his brothers on keyboards replaced by the looser Otmaro Ruiz, playing badly synths parts on grand acoustic piano, turning the mythic brother to brother onto pseudo harsh jazz... BUT, keeping several wonderful jazz rock funk drummers ( Enzo Todesco, Paul Brochu/UZEB) in his unlikely lineup in 95’s ! So Gino committed exploit to perform brother to brother as the initial recording with only his huge voice and huge perfect drum part! Cos Ruiz and the flat upright bass were completely covered !!! Only a xylophone player ( wich has always been part of all the original lineup or modern similar lineup just before this accident! The venue turned empty at the middle of the show when Ruiz decided to play jazz alone on stage , without being inducted by Gino and was totally unknown in Europ at this point... And for the last song, brother , everybody returned to the area !!! Next year, 96, Gino realized he went wrong and took the great Alain Caron(UZEB also) with his longtime drummer Paul Brochu... While keeping RUIZ Same gig, same result... but on the least brother to brother , Caron and Brochu set the audience in fire ! Caron, 6 string’s bass did the guitar solo part while playing slap in our face, the legendary bass part of Beither... So, dear Michael : it’s an advice ! Don’t do the same mistake And eject Otmaro Ruiz as possible! Tomorrow for instance!

[@GarryRaft]

Michael come back to Australia ❤

[@yuliasusanti8884]

When he speaks as if he's singing to me, so soothing

[@homebody61]

I agree. I first discovered his music in the 90s when undergoing severe job stress. His music has healing power, and he sounds awesome in person!

[@Sax4Him]

Chris Hunter is ridiculously brilliant here.

[@solecaring1230]

"Chris Hunter is a copy cat of David Sanborn."

[@Sax4Him]

@@solecaring1230 His major influence is no secret to anyone with ears. That doesn't change the fact that he's a marvelous & capable musician.

[@solecaring1230]

@@Sax4Him He's not capable enough to build his own style of playing. He still under the shadow of David Sanborn.

[@soulsax58]

@@solecaring1230 , well he's there and you're here. He is a very fine saxophonist in his own right...besides Sanborn I certainly hear Michael Breckers influence on tenor. His sound, phrasing and execution is pretty darn good. I would welcome the comparison to a great being told I'm a copy cat. Plus I don't imagine MF would have the budget for Sanborn, so the copy cat is doing a fine mimic, yes!

[@soulsax58]

Plus, I don't know that Sanborn plays any other instruments besides alto sax. Chris is blazing on Alto, Tenor and Flute too. He also has had a lifetime of being an ACE session player with many other greats besides Michael Franks both in NYC and London. Critics can't swing even when you put them on a hook.
