I recollect that Michael (when asked something like - "how does it feel to be the best sax-player in the world"), answered, "I don't know, you'll have to ask Jerry Bergonzi that". :)
This is one of my favorite Brecker Brothers songs. It's just very nice to listen to, MIchael's solo is great, and Dennis Chamberst makes this version amazing!
This is absolutely the most perfect version of the tune ever. Chambers is insane, Whitty is insane, the whole group just plays together so goddamn well! Barcelona gig contained other otherwordly versions too, I love Stern's last solo on Song for Barry.
Its amazing how much the power of Dennis Chambers playing the drums making this song what it needed to be. I have to say that this song is one of there best. The sad part is that the Brecker Bros. are no more, but just out past memories & one of the best! Michael is the best in ways people don't understand. This song gave the definition of what the song title is. The adventure in the song; The complexity & the sound; plus the feel was just amazing. All the solos made me smile. Picture Perfect !!
I remember once I've visited this concert in 1993 at the Jazz Festival in Frankfurt (Hauptwache) I almost forgot to breathe - it was absolutely breathtaking in its literal sense! Michael, we're missing you!
Now my favorite Randy Brecker solo! Those block chords behind the last chorus of Michael's solo are totally inspired! And words can't even describe DC! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!
This is totally insane version of the tune. I wish I'd been there and experienced this live. I've always loved Chambers' style and he truly rocks the world here! And damn that sax solo, I don't know where to breathe :)
These guys are awesome. I love both the Brecker brothers, and Mike Stern and Dennis Chambers are just amazing. I wish they'd let Mike Stern take a solo, he's a great guitar player. I've been able to play with Randy Brecker on stage and it was a very thrilling experience. That was with my high school band three years ago, before Michael got sick, but it got me to practice more improv and inspired me more than anything else.
i am sure michael would laugh at such statement... if there's one most influential tenor sax player, he must be john coltrane, and michael would surely agree :)
Is this concert available somewhere in HDMI and with a decent sound? Great performance and especially Michael second voices and his solo. Great drum and stylish bass. Randy is also great but Michael is from Jupiter.
I miss the Chestnut Cabaret in Philly were these guys would frequently play in the early 90's. I've seen a lot of fusion groups there, some of the best musicians in the world. Cost- $18.00!!
Except when you're talking about Michael Brecker, because he truly was and I think always will be the best ever tenor sax player. He was really something special.
@CHC4669 lets not get ahead of ourselves. Im pretty sure travis parker,carter beauford, tony royster, hell even brian blade can play with as much feeling. but youy are right , dennis does have some serious chops
@callumlicks I wondered the same the first time I was the video. But it was only a weird illusion caused by the camera angle and the way his elbow is positioned. He's totally normal person physically :) But anyways, this is one of the best live performances ever, all the solos are just totally exhausting. I can't breathe at any point - just waiting for the next note!
Yeah, I'm sure he would agree with you, because he was extremely modest. I'd say that Trane and Mike are definitely at the top of the list when it comes to the most influential. To me, Mike was and still is just way more inspiring, and sometimes more emotional with his playing that Trane was.
@Mystery101terminated Hey man, not to burst your bubble but this isn't a remake. It's their own song with the same title. Sorry man. Not a cover. I listen to the version you spoke of, it's okay . But there is a reason why nobody knows about this band and nobody knows about the band you desire.
@mbos4115 No doubt he's one bad mug but Steve Smith's interpretation is a little bit more fuller and beefier than Dennis's on this tune. But Dennis is still probably one of the World's best players

WOW!!! Every jazz fan must listen to this performance!!!!!
i don't think there's anything as "the
best" when it comes to music...
but dennis is amazing and surely among the best
Nice Steve Jobs and Eric Cantona duo

Michael, we're missing you!
The Brecker Bros. were the first JAZZ band I liked. Before I heard them I was close minded! Thanks guys YOU ROCK!
Now my favorite Randy Brecker solo! Those block chords behind the last chorus of Michael's solo are totally inspired! And words can't even describe DC!
Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!
@pneptun I always thought I brought a certain regal dignity to the mullet and moustache.
I saw this tour live. It’s funny to think I was “Disappointed” that Weckl was on the leg I saw 😂 Oh the 90’s were too good to us for jazz fusion.
Love the keyboard solo on this song! Would like to hear more from that guy!
This is totally insane version of the tune. I wish I'd been there and experienced this live. I've always loved Chambers' style and he truly rocks the world here! And damn that sax solo, I don't know where to breathe :)
This is lightning in a bottle. And we can uncork & drink deeply anytime we like. Too much joy!
I'm going to miss your wonderful sound. RIP, Micheal.
Damn... chambers rocks so hard on this.
As for the rest of them... phenomenal as usual haha.
RIP mike
His huge tone must be rocking the heavens ABOVE!!! RIP!
Dennis Chambers for the win
DC at 8:32-8:39 for the major win!
😍One of my all time favorite keyboard solos!
Dennis kicks ass...because his one the best drummers around ..wicked track
HAHAHAHA, Dennis kick so much ass, even Michael was amazed by him.
Yeah! Chambers is JAMMIN'!!!
These guys are awesome. I love both the Brecker brothers, and Mike Stern and Dennis Chambers are just amazing. I wish they'd let Mike Stern take a solo, he's a great guitar player.

Amazing band.
I miss you so, Michael.
James Genus, he is currently touring with Hancock, i'm about to see them live in 8 days. Can't wait!
Best Randy solo ever…so ENERGETIC….
i am sure michael would laugh at such statement...
if there's one most influential tenor sax player, he must be john coltrane, and michael would surely agree :)

Dennies Chambers : 8:32
7:05 Whitty is doin' his thing rite there: that's what i call build op freakin tension

Except when you're talking about Michael Brecker, because he truly was and I think always will be the best ever tenor sax player. He was really something special.

@CHC4669 lets not get ahead of ourselves. Im pretty sure travis parker,carter beauford, tony royster, hell even brian blade can play with as much feeling. but youy are right , dennis does have some serious chops
This is zo fucking hard to play. Unbelievable
Keyboard solo.

George sounds amazing here, great call!
God I miss this guy......😔
All your top 40 kids eat your heart out , timing perfect
BEST FORMATION!!!!
@jdean9 That solo is unreal!!!
@callumlicks I wondered the same the first time I was the video. But it was only a weird illusion caused by the camera angle and the way his elbow is positioned. He's totally normal person physically :)
But anyways, this is one of the best live performances ever, all the solos are just totally exhausting. I can't breathe at any point - just waiting for the next note!
Amazing!

SERIOUS KICK ASS PERFORMANCE! BAD MUTHER F'RS IN THIS BAND!
Holy shit, this is so good!!!!!!
Where can we Find the part?
Yeah, I'm sure he would agree with you, because he was extremely modest. I'd say that Trane and Mike are definitely at the top of the list when it comes to the most influential. To me, Mike was and still is just way more inspiring, and sometimes more emotional with his playing that Trane was.

is that george whitty on keyboards?
Dope
What can I do? Buy a new pack of Depends!
yeahhh
damn who is on keyboard?
HammondB200 george whitty
I'm sure Stern played enough solos, but everyone doesn't have to solo on every tune.
yeah
Piano =D
Mind you id rather listen to a Ballad by Coltrane and tearing it up by Brecker, and both at once by Cannonball
@mbos4115 Before him ... there is Dave Weckl
Not that Coltrane cant rip it up too haha just preference in tone
@mbos4115 No doubt he's one bad mug but Steve Smith's interpretation is a little bit more fuller and beefier than Dennis's on this tune. But Dennis is still probably one of the World's best players
Number 1 in my opinion is Brecker HANDS DOWN... Just an opinion anyways.. I'd put Cannonball Adderley in 2nd and Coltrane in 3rd
Sorry, I accidently hit t after Chambers.
@mbos4115 ummm thats arguable but there are others. like carter beauford for example
why god?? why, I borned at the 90's I'm 23 years old and this is music, not the reegaeeaton, this is crap...
He doesn't understand life.
that lick at 7:14 though
WTF??????
