Michael brecker was a living and walking improv genius. "There is no treacherous position in jazz other than being the guy standing on the band stand who has to take a solo after Michael brecker" -pat Metheny
He just never ran out of ideas. Yeah, there's the occasional repeat but man, 5 minutes of soloing over a remedial standard and mostly one new idea after another!
@@MaxRevittNot really, from a regular jazz fan's perspective, this sounds mostly straightforward in the spirit of the original recording. If you wanna check real "deconstruction", check Miles Davis cover of 'Round Midnight', for example.
Heh he looks like an office bum here xD "Hey guys, I just got back from working in the cubicle, let's play!" *distorts time and space to achieve amazing time and melodic lines*
@Carlos Schvartzman by balancing in playing and outplaying while using target tones he masterfully can play anything over the chages. he also takes rhythmic consonance into consideration in his manipulations of time and balances rhythmic conconance and dissonance. brilliant. melodic development is something he uses frequently as welll.
that's obvious :) I think it make the same effect even to lots of better saxophone player than me (I play alto and clarinet) - even if this isn't my favourite style his command of the instrument (and his value as an artist) is unbelievable.
Michaels sarcasm to play the head a half step lower is hilarious. What a smart ass. Can you imagine how sick he was of "Blue Bossa" the wedding jazz theme!
this gig was performed in Tokyo,Jazz Club Aoyama Body & Soul.
I was there.
Lucky you... 😱❤️
Did you get to speak to him afterwards?
Why is it when I try to play 'outside' it sounds outside. And when Michael Brecker does it, it just sounds
like music. RIP MB
It just has to resolve and be structured
Because this, is, mich 😊
It has to be melodic
He practiced a LOT more
because he's not trying to play "outside". he just plays
Wow.
Despite the low quality footage, Brecker can still play like a god.
Michael Breaker has departed physically but still resides in our midst Spiritually.

So true, really few could keep up with his energy, like Mike Stern, Arturo Sandoval or Mike Manieri.
He just never ran out of ideas. Yeah, there's the occasional repeat but man, 5 minutes of soloing over a remedial standard and mostly one new idea after another!
Andy Kopis: Remedial?
Well, I think that having repetition and developing themes while soloing is generally a good thing.
right, like Getz.
If you listen to Brecker enough you’ll hear some ideas he uses often but they always fit perfectly
@@leetomboulian yes, little-known fact: Blue Bossa was written for children with learning difficulties 😂
One of the best sax players of the 20th century. RIP to him!
you can really see there Henderson's influence on him
Indeed.
Michael goes in and out so easily and makes so much musical sense. It is just wonderful.
Thank you for this. Just incredible endless energy. If he were a hunter, there would be nothing left alive. lol
man how much more peak 80's jazz can you get? I'm scratching my nose like crazy and I haven't even gotten 2 minutes in!
Monstruo del saxofón !!!!!!!! un number one !!!!!!!!!
In un solo pezzo ha suonato tutta la storia del Jazz e ne ha inventato di nuovo...ancora oggi è avanti a tutti di 100 anni.
Blue Bossa disassembled.
*reassembled
Deconstructed

RIP Michael Brecker thank you for changing my life

Grazie Michael Brecker.❤
he has heard & played this tune before it seems
this proves rhythm and melody are king
And harmony is the mother of both 🎉🙏👍
@@DihelsonMendonca i respect it
MY FIRST JAZZBOSSA SONG ON THE PIANO!!! The best version EVER!!!! jeaf!
Jeez he really knows Blue Bossa.
😂 🤣😭
Brecker you BEAST! What a legend....

Too sad that both Michael and Roppongi Pit-inn were gone. Wonderful play!
Sin comentarios por ser Michael Breker que se es una representación histórica del instrumento...
Thanks for sharing! So awesome… Those where the days!
Awesome. Gomez, Brecker and Gadd. I’m in heaven😍
Great Brecker...along with Steve Gadd over playing everything...as usual!!!!
What a Michael, what a solo, what licks
I play tenor sax, and when I hear this, it makes me feel like switching to reed pipe....
that's obvious :) I think it make the same effect even to lots of better saxophone player than me (I play alto and clarinet) - even if this isn't my favourite style his command of the instrument (and his value as an artist) is unbelievable.
Kradomir Choukroutov - I used to play trumpet but then I heard Freddie Hubbard. Soon after, I made a very nice lamp out of my horn.
Wow. I love this! Michael is the best! And an amazing band behind him!
Mean Man Mike, holy sheez! Nothing left unexplored.
Brecker's an all-time great!
French journalistic criticism took thirty years to recognize Michael Brecker's exceptional qualities.
Si Henderson es un ángel, Brecker es un mounstruo... cómo se puede improvisar tan bien!!! Que en paz descanse
The Excellent MVP is Satoh's piano in this youtube.
Michael is THE man, period...
Michael thanks simply fantastic O:-)
Wooo. What playing is this, man!
Thanks for uploading
@pinkpanzer6 Man, you are right about that! Just went back and relistened....what a beast!
No one plays this exciting today...
kamasi washingtprout ?
@@rinahall not even close
Nowadays, Pat Bartley from the J-music ensemble is quite capable. Not really in the same style as Brecker but still an amazing saxophonist
Thnks for uploading this.. ((GOLD))
Very good! This song is fantastic! I have the backing track for that song on my channel.
holy shit how did I just now find this
Excellent!
When you try to be innovative with the changes, but the licc is life
Tyler Pauletti Licc? Do you mean lick?
do you mean likk?
Or do you mean liqq?
i think you meant liiq
By the time he's finished, there's nothing left to do!!
WOW.
exelente!! Gracias
The lick on 2:56 and 3:58
@mbvox so i played your video. It isn't any better than this one. This one they're killing it!!! (the other one is boring)
For Gadd's Sake!
So killin' at 4:16
5:35 the lick again!
Este tío es una makina buenisimo
GREAT !
yes !!!
The venue is not Roppongi Pit-inn but "Body and Soul", Aoyama Tokyo. It's for sure.
History of Jazz - Master's! Soul!
I wish I could see Eddie’s right hand a little more clearly. Really nice percussive playing
Great !!!
este cara e inacreditavel
What a solo. Wow
goosebumps
Steve Gadd
Pianist is Mark Gray I think.
@666patrickbateman666 What does Britney Spears have to do with cubicles? Or amazing time sense for that matter 0_O
GOD bless his soul...
please upload this in better quality!
2:57 the lick!
Eddie Gomez on Bass...
Woooooooo!!
3:58 THE LICK
try this tune with brazilian players marcelo bastos jazz quartet...
Unbelievable!
Hearing 5:04 to 5:21 always makes me feel like i should just give up playing the sax....
Just waggle your fingers......
Because this, is, Mich 😊
Brecker is for saxophone what Liszt is for the piano. 🎉❤
@mobiusII he is the beast of my ears!! but what are doing police? ha ha
@4:49, he riffs on the same lick that Chris Potter does in his viral performance with Snarky Puppy
it's the inverse, you idiot !
true! or very similar at least
Correction: Chris potter riffed on the same lick MB played
is there a better recording of this? i'd like to hear it
not likely :/ but I would like to hear it to
Tariq Amery im still thankful there's this one though, what an amazing performance
Does the drummer open his eyes during the song?
its true what they say a master will make even a crappy instrument sound great, all thier instrum
@Barış Mert Peker thanks
Good!! Ufff!!
RAW!!!
insane as usual
@1hipgig yeah but if everyone played every song the same way.. it wouldn't be jazz anymore.
Michaels sarcasm to play the head a half step lower is hilarious. What a smart ass. Can you imagine how sick he was of "Blue Bossa" the wedding jazz theme!
S.Gadd - jazzmashine
It Is Bad Steve Gadd
