      BoBo N. RobinSon:
      Randy, like all of us, is so, so proud of his little brother Michael (RIP!)
      Michael was committed to his chosen field, did his homework thoroughly and became better than the best of his time.
      What a Talent! A Genius!
      A pious and heavenly human being was HE.

      @@musopaul5407 with all due respect to Randy, you can't compare his 32nd notes to Mike's. Mike seems to be always in complete control of what he's doing and blasts those 32nds with milimetrical precision for several bars like it's nothing. Slow the video down to 0.5 speed and Mike's solo is still jaw-dropping (indeed, it helps see the ammount of information his phrases pack, and how perfectly constructed they are). It's not that Randy isn't awesome here, but Mike is just in another level in my opinion.

Actually, this very video was what opened my eyes to the their talent. I've started looking into the back catalogue of Brecker Brothers and Michael Brecker Band music. And through them I discovered other great artists like Mike Stern and Neil Jason :D. It's humbling to experience music performed by people with talent on this level :).
