That’s one of my favorites, too. Discovering Return of the Brecker Brothers while in high school was such a revelation. Trumpet-playing me at the time could not have imagined that 25 years later I’d end up playing EWI, of all things. Thanks for everything, Mike Brecker! 😁
Oh man, this song was a huge influence on my high school self. I remember it being like a competition between us jazz kids in to see who could play the melody at tempo. Fun memories. Awesome to see you guys take a deep dive on it. Love everything you guys do! Cheers
So nice to see this, thank you guys. I’ve been listening to “Don’t Try This at Home” lately - great tunes (shout out don grolnick, and one by Vince Mendoza, the “both sides now” arranger) and incredible playing all around
I was just listening to Michael Brecker on the Frank Zappa album track called The Purple Lagoon. I love his solo on that track. Also, there is a TH-cam channel called Sharp#11 run by young lad from Holland coincidentally who is obsessed with Michael Brecker solos. Great video chaps. Many thanks!
Talking about Michael Brecker I love the Steps Ahead version of In a Sentimental Mood with Michael Brecker and Mike Mainieri. Truly smooth business from the 80s.
Guys should check out their performance with Zappa in New York live... dude... it was killer! Mike the GOAT... i'm a bass player and have transcribed more solos by him than of anybody else... cheers
Guys... c'mon with the "Dude jazz" stuff: there's too much male stereotyping in jazz already. It's really off-putting. But Michael Brecker is a legend. You can tell it's him instantly.
Man, I remember this. I used to go to NJF every year when it was still in The Hague. First time I saw Mike live was with Steps. Great memories!
Michael's solo on Spherical is in my top 5 solos of all time all instruments all music.

Some Skunk Funk, also known as the most difficult song in the Real Book.
Ah yes, I used to love The Hague, but that was before I was convicted to jazz. Now I can appreciate the show even more!
what a great time for The Hague
1992 great festival
this kind of video is the best for me
Can you guys do an episode where you react to Michael Brecker playing Impressions with McCoy Tyner? It's unbelievable.
For ever ever ever ever, and in the company with all that interesting people, wonderful. Thanks to ho? JEHOVÁ D'BIG BOSS. 😅
