The Michael Brecker Podcast - My Brother the Jazz Musician

[@selpingos]

The Brecker brothers were a freak of nature. Just like Diz and Bird who were the architects of Bebop. These guys were the architects of this kinda music. Mind blowing!!! Randy's tone on his trumpet no matter how fast the lines is so sweet. Skunk Funk was like their anthem but the one that blew my mind was Rocks. Thanks for the music Randy and RIP Michael

Love the smile on Michael's face after Randy pulls off that grand pause at 6:30. Michael obviously had the same love and respect for Randy. Beautiful.

you dig!

I got to hear Michael Brecker and Mike Stern together live at the Berklee Performance Center at Boston Massachusetts in the late 80’s and they set us all on Fire 🔥 for Jazz !

[@zacworld2061]

Damn. Just DAMN. I feel so lucky to have seen the Brecker Brothers and Michael Brecker's solo groups several times. Amidst such stunning world class talent Michael always seemed to steal the show.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

He was always at the top of his game. Always.

[@thebreathalyzer]

Thank you so much, Bret!!! (Shawn J) The sequence in Mike's solo beginning around 2:50 is just insane, it's so good and he even does a little "choreography"... he was totally in the zone.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Glad you dig!

[@davidmaslow399]

Oh my God! Had to watch again!!!

[@michaelpedicinjr]

Love on the bandstand!!! Randy and Michael, two amazingly talented brothers......

[@JazzVideoGuy]

[@jerryjazzbo2845]

Man, that was a crazy tempo on Some Skunk Funk, but Mike was just as crazy/good. Wish he were still around.

[@ml-ei3nz]

Hehehe, „who counted it off?“ Dennis sits on his throne chewing his gum and smiling.

[@Calbertone]

Thank you for posting such wealth of great material. Thanks to this, one feels as though Michael is still with us

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Glad you dig!

So funny to see the performance after Randy commenting on it. One can’t help but feel for him as he is standing there kind of helpless beside his brother, who is just breathing fire. The solo he then comes up with is different, but quite good. I always liked how the Breckers are such contrasting solo voices. Often each had a totally different angle on the same song which is always stimulating, and it sort of spices things up. Great material and nice editing, Bret. 😎👍

[@JazzVideoGuy]

thanks...one of the reasons they work together so well - their distinctive musical voices

[@luvmyrecords]

I get it - I'm scared just listening (what brilliance!)

[@adamgarey9807]

Sending Some Love to You Randy! I can't Imagine losing a Brother like Michael...or any family Member hurts! Jesus Comfort you and yours! Keeping BeBop Alive!

[@roderickberry2508]

Meu pai amava jazz e eu também adoro. Seu trumpet fazia miséria também. Saudades

Oh Randy Sent A Bridge Material To The Ojays.

[@neilldehaan2522]

How did he not physically explode in that solo? Wow!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

It is rather intense.

[@YumaUesaka]

6:30 is such a great moment

[@JazzVideoGuy]

yes!

[@foxybrown2]

The trumpet solo better.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Are you a trumpet player?

[@Piratebreadstick]

@@JazzVideoGuy I'm neither a trumpet nor a saxophone player, but for the life of me, I can't see how Randy's solo is in any way inferior to Mike's, as implied by some of the comments here, and by Randy himself. Both are wonderful and very different.

@@Piratebreadstick Listening to music is a very subjective epxerience. How people "hear" music differs greatly.
