There Will Never Be Another Michael Brecker

[@joksal9108]

Definitely the most imitated tenor player since Coltrane. At the top of his game here. RIP.

[@ashitakazphiroute2868]

I still remember the first time i heard his sound on the radio, i was in my dad's car back from school, i said ''Coltrane!'' and Dad's said ''No way, he passed way earlier'', then the host said his name out after the tune, Michael Brecker from Brecker Bros... I bought my first MB album at age 18, album name's the same - Michael Brecker. Sea Glass, Syzygy, Choices, Nothing Personal, The Cost Of Living, Original Rays. 6 tunes, setted up my tone and future composition style of jazz, since then i've been listening this album and his other albums for years, his music connected me from Swing n Bebop era to the jazz i listen and play today.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

There you go!

[@darkcanyonprospecting1148]

Brecker was such an inspiration for me as a young saxophonist. I saw him at a clinic he gave at BYU in Utah when I was a high school student. I still preach what he taught us about patterns. He opened my eye and my ears. I cried for 3 days when I learned he had passed away. 😢

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Very very lucky to have known and worked with him.

[@frantiseksladek9301]

There will never be another you❤

[@JazzVideoGuy]

true dat

[@leegollin4417]

How fantastic is THAT?!? MB is really at the top of the heap, with all the greats who preceded him. I get very emotional hearing his process and soul on display, on as many records as Ron Carter.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

a truly remarkable person

[@rebeccalevinson193]

Such an incredible musician, and such an authentic, good guy.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Wonderful combination.

Jazz video Guy you have done so much for my education in jazz

[@JazzVideoGuy]

I'm happy for that.

[@previllazz]

Thanks for sharing Jazz Video Guy. This is pure gold. Mike Brecker is my hero. Unique.! RIP.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Glad you dig!

[@edwinedwards6796]

He had something special.❤️

[@JazzVideoGuy]

very special

[@warrenrand3562]

what a treat- the paganini of the saxophone (according to marty ehrlich) with rufus and billy hart playing about as nasty a shuffle as a guy could ask for. thx bret

[@romainbertrand253]

Michael Brecker is one of the few modern player that really stands out. No offense to the others super talented guys. But mister Brecker was totally awesomely creative and unique soundwise.

[@callmejeffbob]

Great! Sadly I never saw him perform.

[@williamarchibald4478]

Thanks to our Jazz Video Guy, we can! Granted, we're no longer able to be in the same room, but there is lots of video available for us to see. We can't say that about Nicolo Paganini or Mozart. Thank you, Bret, for searching out these gems and putting them out for all to experience.

[@vidrojas31]

Mike Brecker is unique...I hope another Mike Brecker exist someday, it would be the proof that Jazz keeps on living...❤️

[@JazzVideoGuy]

There are many great musicians today, but another Mike, let's hope so.

[@ianbuxton8332]

@@JazzVideoGuy Look I'm woefully unfamiliar with contemporary "genius jazz". Could someone PLEASE signpost me as to where it is?? 🤔🤔🤔

[@BarryTones]

this is a really exciting clip showing Michael's excellence. Thank you JVG. His depth of knowledge is transcendent. One could hardly ask a tenor player to pull more out of a sax. His recorded work continues to buoy me up with joy. He is my hero!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

That was a very special night.

[@carlosprediger1922]

Simply amazing !!! The great Michael Brecker !!!

[@francesschaefer]

Great channel thank you~

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Thank you too!

[@ed.z.]

What an amazing gentleman who also was the greatest tenor player who ever lived.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

certainly one of them

[@SuperOutloud]

He was really coming into who he truly was. Passing all the chops he had, he seemed transcendant towards the end. So great to see and hear him again.

[@buyukberber]

Search, watch, like! Thanks again!

[@YvesJacques-lv5wj]

great...

[@Kirktracy]

It’s a strange thing to be so personally touched by someone that I never knew personally. Through his music it’s like I did know him and I was so sad when he went on that big ship to the summer lands. A great master! Thanks Bret.

[@musicbyfriendsforfriends3311]

It is always enjoyable and instructive to hear players like MB perform on a standard that serious listeners know well. How many stars can you possibly award a performance like this!

[@LCohenSax]

How lucky was I to be there for this show.

[@GianluigiBarbieri-jq9dn]

Il signor brecker parla tramite il sax e gli fa dire tutto quello che vuole lui senza problemi un genio

[@MrGuto]

Amazing !!!!

[@vaughanmatthews763]

Rufus Reid ! Such a big warm sound! Great how piano laid out on that solo. He really gave some nice spaces to rythm section. This is the clearest portrait of his playing that I've ever heard. Thanks to all.

[@jxferenge6809]

Thanks. These folks who play this music are each individuals who come from different angles and places. It is useless to say one is better than another. I might like this one or that one. That is my individual taste. I'm just glad to have ears that work. Thanks for sharing this of MB.

[@insidejazzguitar8112]

Thanks!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Thank you so much for your support of my work!

[@vahagnhayrapetyan1285]

The song is Not "There will never be another you" It's "There is no greater love “ Someone fix this🙏

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

[@fabiodellacuna8180]

The tune they are playing Is "there Is no greater Love" not "there Will never be another you". Great video!

[@BarryTones]

acute!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Yes! Thank you!

[@GangesMode]

Just read Bill Milkowski’s biography on Mike last week. Laughed a lot at the stories of typical musician hijinks. Especially the pranks him and Dennis Chambers would play on each other. Or how he was always forgetting his horn and the band would have to go back and get it. He is in my top 5 musicians of all of history. His ideas are executed so clearly, it makes you want to play like that, because you can tell it would feel good to flow and pull off lines like that. Then you find out it is basically impossible, because very few instrumentalists, across any style or time period, have achieved that facility. It’s stupendous. I can’t believe its been since 2006, seems like yesterday. He didn’t get to see the first iphone come out…

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Well said. "very few instrumentalists, across any style or time period, have achieved that facility." Exactly.

[@ianbuxton8332]

Great stuff, Bret. I've GOTTA watch/listen to this AT LEAST twice more!! 😉😉😉

[@walterhayley7252]

Great video... thx Bret

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Glad you liked it! Michael was a friend and an inspiring one at that.

[@Landyachtz471]

Dont try this at home was a gnarly flex of technique that really humbled me as a young musician
