      The recorder player is Benoit Sauve, I am a recorder player myself so I have watched that clip many times. Note that Benoit has his right hand on top, normaly you have the left hand there. If you think the clip has been reversed, I can tell you its not, he is playing that way. This also means that his recorder/s has been changed, for example placing the finger holes in a different way and also the way you drill and shape the holes. It is quite complicated to manufacture a high quality recorder. If you want to listen to maybe the best recorder player today, search "Kristine West recorder - Full Movie". This swedish girl is an outstanding musician, listen f e to the first piece by Vivaldi. The recording was made in Vätö church, Sweden. Enjoy!

    I saw Michael Brecker at a jazz club in Uppsala, Sweden, in the mid-90s. On the last song he impressed by putting away the saxophone and sitting behind the drum set. Regular drummer hit with a trumpet and played amazing trumpet solo and Michael Brecker played amazingly well on the drums. I'll never forget this.

    Fantastic. Randy Brecker did a master class at my high school in 2005 and I got the chance to play this song with him. He was amazing to work with. It's pretty sad, Michael got sick shortly after we worked Randy, and Randy broke contact with our band leader at that time. RIP Michael

    What people gotta realize is that improvisation is like justice (well suppose to be) , BLIND. If you play blues, latin, funk, rock, swing, whatever.. you can improvise over it...Jazz has found it's play in almost all music forms. You don't gotta like what your listening to. Just respect it cause thousands of jazz musicians died so Michael brecker and you and I can learn there really isn't any boundries in music. especially jazz. Brecker is one of the few guys in his time that did it WELL in all!

    Something cool: I thought at times James Genus was playing slap, but it looked he wasn't doing it except after the start of Randy's solo, but then I realized that the bass drum and the bass had a hit at the same time, so that made it sound like slap.

    This is playing at the highest level - Michael's solo has such a virtuosic and aural awareness that is given to only a few! - a great composition.

    I love randy's style, i think that he, aswell as bill evans (sax) and stern, has contributed to create a particular jazz sound that i can't resist ^_^

    Mike's saxophone virtuosity is so advanced it's sometimes difficult to witness it as actual, possible. A modern day Paginini......

    Mikes solo here isn't as unbelievable as back in the 70s. live version on cd was the most insane thing I ever heard with waaa pedal!!

  • @temporaryname73
    @temporaryname73 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    have you seen the solo he does in the 1993 version of this song? Its so incredibly fast and awesome that I couldnt believe what I was watching. Just type in "Brecker Brothers- Skunk Funk 93"

      31 years ago, I watched the Michael Brecker Band in Tokyo (with Mike Stern, Kenny Kirkland, Jeff Andrews and Omar Hakim). I split a cab back to the hotel with Michael. It was my first trip to Japan and I was really jet lagged. On the way back, we discussed this tune.

      Definitely how you should lean into a solo break. So many players leave it open. You gotta carry the energy and intensity from the rhythm section, or create it yourself.
