Rufus and Billy are generating the "weird swing that glues all the harmonic insanity together." Not so much weird, as multidrectional. In any event, there's no excuse to ignore them; they're very well recorded here. Thanks for this, Bret -- it's a gift that keeps on giving.

As a jazz-lover since childhood, I've heard my share of great performances, especially from michael brecker, who's been an idol for me... but this performance is just JAW-DROPPING!! the trio of saxophonists (and that piano-player!) just-- TRANSCEND what seem like "laws of music" to everyone else... Bravo, what an homage to coltrane!!!

These are seriously sick solos. You gotta have iron chops to hold the horn and work the mechanism... all while blowing your guts out. Some of the fingering combinations jerk the horn so violently that inside of your lower lip gets raw. You gotta be so relaxed to play with that kind of intensity. It's one thing to work the horn and another to have a conception of the music and a personal style. The whole thing had a weird swing to it that glued all the harmonic insanity together.
