Am I the only one who likes Randy's solo so much? It feels a little bit unfair nobody says it was really good.
I just listened to much more closely. Holy crap. That was an amazing solo.
I think it sound great.
It’s still a really good solo even 2 years after the original comment!
Yeah this was one of Randy’s better solos for sure
It was insane but ong micheal put more work in
The world misses these musicians. I do too.
Huh?
brecker’s sound is amazing. he’s very young in this clip.
damn michael looks so young... but that SOUND insane
Michael gave me the feeling at the end of his solo, he had more to say, ....flawless timing,flooded with interesting ideas, shapes, colours, tones, textures.. Awesome.
Especially what he did at 1:43
I just love all of his stuff.
RIP Michael Brecker.
For those who do not know the guy of the beginning introducing the tune, he is Juan Claudio Cifuentes, "Cifu" for friends. The show is called "Jazz entre amigos", aired between 1984 and 1991. Cifu also was presenting radio shows like "A todo jazz" and "Jazz porque sí". Will be always remembered. Thanks to him he let us know more about the jazz culture here in Spain, in a very interesting, nice, friendly way.
Great music! I loved Michael Brecker's playing throughout his life, but there is 'something' wonderfully fresh about his early solos.
Who are the four dopes who don't appreciate the musician of these guys? sometimes I have to wonder where they come from ... it really doesn't get much better than this group as you see and hear them .. trust me .

27-/28-years Michael Brecker, the "bad-as-ass" tenor man whom the gods have impiously taken away from us - far too soon - has left us a library of musical excellence.
GOAT
That's my music teacher on the guitar!
"That music teacher" leads two jazz combos of which I'm a part at Furman University and I've experienced his great guitar-playing ability and knowledge firsthand on a weekly basis so I wholeheartedly disagree
You do NOT know what you are talking about so you should shut up
Craig Beckner he also teaches theory and performance classes at the Fine Arts Center
NOPC20161535 I'm sorry, I just wanted people to know. I apologize that I made you so upset.
Zach Not you! :) I actually was referring to the person who thought the guitar player isn't good. He's just a troll, but your teacher sounds fantastic (just as everybody else in the band does;) Sorry for any confusion and have a great day!
Randy ROCKS...hey us...in Lima willOPEN MY CLUBSOON
wow, I have a cassette of this concert I made off a radio broadcast back then, NPR's Jazz Alive w/Ben Sidran maybe? I had no idea there was a video made of it! If memory serves, I tried to transcribe Michael's solo at the time. :)
The brecker brothers are so YOUNG!
Michael!! ❤
I'm a musician. I believe that emotions are conveyed through music far more purely than through words. I play electric guitar and piano, I love using my hands to express myself. A slide, bending a string to exactly the pitch you want. However, I've never played an instrument that requires my breath (apart from singing). It must be a cool experience to literally breathe in time with the music. If any people with experience could share their opinions, I'd be grateful. Thanks.
a melodica is basically that but in a less cool way lol it's actually pretty fun
Oh hell yeah man! I play tenor sax and i love when i hit just the right pitch. It is really similar to singing though, i feel like i use my throat so much when i play across the horn and it just feels like my voice is free. Its kind of like when you hum a tune and feel your throat, thats the kind of feeling
393 views, 150 from this guy!
@RecorderBoi420 Wow I didn't realize how early to this video I was! A large portion of them were me lol
Thanks for posting! 'Hard to believe we all lost Mike 5 yrs ago today! He is so missed! I noticed Don Coffman using a Kramer 450-B as well! I bought mine (but fretless, and still in pristine condition) the same year of this gig, and still have it today... :)
We do not grow tired of it !!
many thanks from France
Cordially
AH>>>>>>>>>. memories, years ago our group played this tune also....miss the boys, three of them are gone now, great times brothers, RIP YA'LLQQ
Brecker killin it
Mestre Michael Brecker..infelizmente 10 anos sem ele.
Deus quer ouvir sempre boa música, porém nos deixa lixo como J Balvin
Music on the edge! Excellent.
Priceless footage, soul plus!
Yeah the greatest skunkin tenor ever:)
Beautiful, Louis! Didn't know this existed
I must say, Michael was a handsome guy
The best song ever!
On this tune I am listed as percussionist..but it is Al Ashley RIP on percussion and I on drums.
Oscar Salas WoW..thanks for the music and info
THank you for clarifying that Mr Salas! Al Ashley was my teacher at one point in the 80's and I'm very grateful to have found this steller recording. He was a huge influence on me in my teens!
Fabulous!
I like that stuff
Young and beautiful !!!
Great music !
Thanks for the post.
A huge THANK YOU to ewi4000 for posting this epic clip!
How Cool!!!!!
MAGNIFICO.
Amazing.

Thank you
amazzzzing Ksaxman
clip with Juan Carlos Cifuentes 'Cifu',Spanish Television.
Beautiful !
Thanks a lot
Michael 🔝
Amazing!!!!
NO dislikes...YEAH!!!
Back in the early 70s Mike Brecker (RIP) had trouble with a herniated larynx (Laryngocoele) and eventually had a serious operation in 1973 to alleviate the problem. His neck still inflated and as such was often seen wearing a neck scarf to support this.
Michael Brecher with hair!
Excelente
いいね、のりのり♪♪♪~
WOW
Bonjour, j'aime beaucoup le son de la clarinette, j'aimerai bien vous écouter, un jour si vous etre en ile de france, pouquoi pas un petit boeuf?
cordialement
No clarinette here?
Yes buddy.
Bonjour!
je suis effectivement en Ile de France. Concernant la clarinette, je suis un musicien classique, c'est à dire plutôt un lecteur de partitions...je travaille au sein un orchestre d'amateurs de haut niveau.
Pour le sax ténor, je n'en joue que depuis deux ans mais...j'évolue assez rapidement...et j'essaie, ce n'est pas facile, de sortir des rails du classique...c'est à dire jouer ce que je pense ....avec mes oreilles et ma technique en cours d'apprentissage du sax...
bonne continuation
Je souhaite que vous ayez réussi dans votre entreprise. Je joue aussi le sax ténor mais je n'aime pas beaucoup le genre classique, mais je reconnais que la force du genre classique c'est la précision dans l'exécution des partitions, tandis que la force du genre jazz c'est la liberté de créer musique d'après l'âme du musicien, en suivant quelques règles harmoniques
1:57 the l i c c
Another great one, thanks Louis!!
minha nossa senhora
Not sure who Don Coffman is on bass but he is killing it!!
Looks just like Jeff Berlin.
@@pretorious700 I don't think they look alike. RiP Don Coffman + RiP Oscar Salas. Now you're jamming with Michael Brecker in another dimension.
Don Coffman was the jazz bass teacher at the University of Miami in FL. I studied with him between 91-95. A huge mentor for many musicians! He passed yesterday. I'm still processing his passing as I listen to this. RIP Don ❤️
Actually it's one of his guardalas.......probably one of the early modified studios....note the selmer 3-banded lig he used on the DG pieces.
It's an Otto Link. Note how big the body of the mouthpiece was, not the streamline body of the Guardala at all. You can use the Selmer tenor ligature on a Link and alto ligature on a Guardala.
@gjbsaxman94
Hahaha. I did not consider this aspect! And yes, making silly faces whilst getting into the groove is a right of all musicians!
Oscar, I corrected it. Thanks!!!
Louis
I would also rank Mike Brecker as the second greatest tenor player behind Coltrane. When you're talking about all time great tenor sax players, Sonny Rollins has got be in the discussion. No question about it.
James McKeon I would also have to be in the discussion
Rankings of great musicians have even less meaning than a penis length contest in a school's loo.
3:16
Anchorman on bass.
You can see a stream of saliva pouring through the corner of Randy's mouth around 1:49, just before it cuts to the bassist. Mmmmm gotta love brass and woodwind instruments.
What ever happened to the guitarist Steve Watson? I’ve never heard of him before today. He was terrific on this! Is he still playing?
He teaches jazz now.
He teaches jazz in Greenville South Carolina. I’m one of his former students!
WOW !!! Hand looks like a spider crawling all over the fretboard.
Santana should Open up...hopefully
The lick at 1:56 ;)
1:45
@Karmoon7 haha how weird you would say that since most fellow woodwind players i know are at least a little envious of non woodwinds since you guys have the freedom to allow your face to show emotion and really get into the music while we only have our eyebrows available for that
ギタリストが頑張ってますねwよくやったw
"That tenor sax player" it's funny that you refer to Michael Brecker as if he was just another tenor player (of course, he wasn't still rocking as he was on the time by his first solo album).
Just found it funny, because Brecker is the greatest tenor player after Coltrane. Lol
There is much longer (and better in my opinion) version of Song for my Father recorded 4 years earlier at the Pori Jazz Festival, including Horace Silver and the Brecker Brothers th-cam.com/video/TxWq3xxbXBs/w-d-xo.html
Stomp down jam
Doe a TH-cam search on: "Billy Cobham Band - Pleasant Pheasant - 1974 " Guess that is the oldest (video)clip on TH-cam with them.
the Bee Gees of jazz
Mike Brecker kinda looked like the love child of John Cleese and Bruce Campbell here...
omg did you guys notice how that tenor sax player's neck started to inflate every time he blew? wtf is that. i have played the sax for a few years and never witnessed something like that.
you made this comment many years ago, but many jazz saxophonists do that, lots puff their cheeks as well. classical saxophone is a whole different world.
also that tenor saxophone player is one of the greatest of all time, although he’s very young in this clip.
🙄💙🥀🌱
that bassist is twitching more than zoidberg when someone mentions food. jk, what a great performance!
1:09
Does Michael Brecker Improv this solo? It blows my mind!
Weird to see Mike without the moustache.
@mpass212 he played on guardalas cause it was easier blowing. he had a birth defect in his neck, his neck ruptured at one point from blowing too hard. So he changed his set up. And in my opinion ottolinks are crappy mouthpieces by todays standards.but many guys liked them because they were more mellow then other metal mouthpieces.. It just depends what fits you as a player.
Looks like chad lefkowitz shaved his beard.
I didn't mean any disrespect. I consider him to be one of the greatest of all time. Greatest since Coltrane? Im not so sure. Personally, I would rate Sonny Rollins and Pharoah Sanders higher than Brecker but thats just me.
Pharoah Sanders at the same level as Rollins? I mean, he's great but I think that Wayne Shorter, for example, played in a more innovative way, as Sonny used to in the past
