My Jazz Piano teacher 20 years ago, Mr Robert Persi, was playing with his band one night for a gig, and came in the club the brecker brothers. No sax player so no sax, , so to do the jam, michael brecker took the drums ...
Around 1989 I saw MB at Blue Note NYC. After his show there was a house band having their regular late night jam. Brecker said he'd like to sit in on drums. The host said there were other drummers there first but maybe he could play in the second set. (I swear - this actually happened.) About an hour later Mike was still in the club chatting with friends. The host said on the mic "now we'd like to bring Mike up on drums". Mike politely, but loud enough for everyone to hear said "no thank you."
L'ho sentito suonare dal vivo la batteria, al teatro Morlacchi o al Paone a Perugia, lui aveva suonato prima ai giardini del frontone forse con gli Steps, e vennero poi in teatro dove suonava Branford Marsalis e lui si mise alla batteria. Che anni...

too bad the quality is so bad, still great to have a glimpse at his drummer's skills though... I heard about it, but never saw it :)

Sorry the quality isn't better. This is just a short clip from a camera and I'm sorry to say there aren't any others to post.
