  • Possibly the greatest everything player ever.

  • This guy put his soul in every note that he played, I really miss this guy!

  • jazz freedom...

    

  • I'm hearing similar licks of Michael's from the "Leaving My Troubles Behind" vid with P. Shaffer

  • Great to hear Brecker playing on some rhythm changes. Getting my transcribe onn!

  • During his career, he was in great demand as a soloist and sideman. He performed with bands which spanned from mainstream jazz to mainstream rock. Altogether, he appeared on over 700 albums, either as a band member or a guest soloist. He put his stamp on numerous pop and rock recordings as a soloist. The Michael Brecker Band appeared in Pori Jazz 1998 Members:

    Brecker, Michael, sax Calderazzo, Joey, p Genus, James, b Peterson, Ralph, Dr. In the summer of 2004, Brecker was diagnosed with (MDS)

  • Quite honestly Brecker and his MK VI set the standard, by which many jazz artist wish to attain. His overtones and altissimos are classic. Michael Brecker was the Trans Am, Kenny G is the Bonneville. Same maker but 2 totally different cars. Kenny plays to make money ( who doesn't) Brecker played for the advit jazz player. Many tenor sax players want the "Brecker sound" not the G sound.

  • Comparing Kenny G to Brecker is certainly funny - and it is not a matter of taste. It's a completely different (mainstream) style and a different audience Kenny G serves. I'm sure his playing is great at a variety of occasions, starting with your first rendezvous, going on with Disney pictures and perhaps ending up with selling fabric softeners at safeways. Breckers music certainly wouldn't do the trick. It never is background music - it is art.

  • IT WAS A F******G JOKE

  • I pity people like you who bow down to jackasses like Kenny G and have the audacity call him better than Michael Brecker....
