This is from a Spring 1984 lecture at North Texas State University. The tune is a Bb blues, Sonnymoon for Two. Mike blows for about four minutes. John Ballantyne is on piano, Kendall Kay is on drums. Gerald Stockton on Bass. This is a student rhythm section and Mike really digs playing with them.

  • brecker saved my life

  • Are you people on acid?! Listen to the guy! He obviously hammered away at the Nicolas Slonimsky Thesaurus of Scales like an animal for months (if not years). There's an interview with Mike where he talks about practicing...and he says he has to work on ideas a lot before the appear in his improvising.

  • @Modes9 Yea, I think that's the JazzVideoGuy one !

  • I swear, you can hear Coltrane in his playing. My goodness! Although they had different sounds, both are just....amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yes....LOVE jazz!

  • @TheIzzysteve oh soz lol

  • @TripleOctaveMusic I know. Just asking.

  • @TheIzzysteve Guardala (excuse spelling if wrong) also on a side note getting his mouthpiece wont make u sound like him

  • @GarciaCornbread definately one of my all time favorite solos.

  • Before i learned about Michael Brecker i always thought 1980 ies Jazz was shitty

    But this Guy proved me WRONG

  • Who did this! Recording?, however, all thanks!

  • if you reckon brecker doesn't have soul listen to "angle of repose" off the album "wide angles" and you will see how entirely WRONG you are. shit ALL his stuff has soul, if you can't hear it YOU don't have soul. quit trolling and listen to kenny g or whoever you reckon has soul, and i'm not just saying that. brecker isn't for everyone, but no need to hate and talk about your opinions like that fact. GROW UP
