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!
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*
@@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.
@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!
in 2:59 a beautiful phrase but completely out of chord (is in F- going to D-7b5 and G7) . I think it was a awesome mistake; then he has a reaction tipically of when something is wrong. this demonstrate that is human ja ja.
I agree with that , well, you are in brecker´s mind? I´m not. I suppose that he was wrong. See his reaction after the phrase. I know that he often play outside notes, but the end of this phrase es completely out of chord,,,He can´t tell us the thruth of this...
Michael Breaker has departed physically but still resides in our midst Spiritually.
this gig was performed in Tokyo,Jazz Club Aoyama Body & Soul.
I was there.
Lucky you... 😱❤️
Did you get to speak to him afterwards?
Wow.
Despite the low quality footage, Brecker can still play like a god.

So true, really few could keep up with his energy, like Mike Stern, Arturo Sandoval or Mike Manieri.
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
One of the best sax players of the 20th century. RIP to him!
Monstruo del saxofón !!!!!!!! un number one !!!!!!!!!
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 😂
Michael goes in and out so easily and makes so much musical sense. It is just wonderful.
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!
Thank you for this. Just incredible endless energy. If he were a hunter, there would be nothing left alive. lol
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.
RIP Michael Brecker thank you for changing my life
you can really see there Henderson's influence on him
Indeed.
Grazie Michael Brecker.❤
Too sad that both Michael and Roppongi Pit-inn were gone. Wonderful play!
Brecker you BEAST! What a legend....
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!
Thanks for sharing! So awesome… Those where the days!
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*
Great Brecker...along with Steve Gadd over playing everything...as usual!!!!
Awesome. Gomez, Brecker and Gadd. I’m in heaven😍
Blue Bossa disassembled.

Deconstructed

Sin comentarios por ser Michael Breker que se es una representación histórica del instrumento...
What a Michael, what a solo, what licks
Wow. I love this! Michael is the best! And an amazing band behind him!

Mean Man Mike, holy sheez! Nothing left unexplored.
French journalistic criticism took thirty years to recognize Michael Brecker's exceptional qualities.
The lick on 2:56 and 3:58
Brecker's an all-time great!
Thnks for uploading this.. ((GOLD))
he has heard & played this tune before it seems
Jeez he really knows Blue Bossa.
😂 🤣😭
Thanks for uploading
Michael is THE man, period...
Michael thanks simply fantastic O:-)
Wooo. What playing is this, man!
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.
Excellent!
@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
WOW.
Great !!!
exelente!! Gracias
Este tío es una makina buenisimo
@pinkpanzer6 Man, you are right about that! Just went back and relistened....what a beast!
holy shit how did I just now find this
GREAT !
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
este cara e inacreditavel
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.
3:58 THE LICK
goosebumps
yes !!!
Woooooooo!!
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
History of Jazz - Master's! Soul!
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
Very good! This song is fantastic! I have the backing track for that song on my channel.
GOD bless his soul...
By the time he's finished, there's nothing left to do!!
So killin' at 4:16
The venue is not Roppongi Pit-inn but "Body and Soul", Aoyama Tokyo. It's for sure.
Does the drummer open his eyes during the song?
For Gadd's Sake!
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!
Hearing 5:04 to 5:21 always makes me feel like i should just give up playing the sax....
Just waggle your fingers......
Good!! Ufff!!
5:35 THE LICK AGAIN
+Elden Kelly I'm sure I heard Chick Corea used it, but just can't remember on which song, so you can't verify that xD
milyenagain? statimeniagain? mrsupizdumaterinnu
+Matija Livaic Spain at 6:13 I think (light as a feather studio version)
Jajajajj, yes !!
Yessir
What a solo. Wow
Unbelievable!
5:35 the lick again!
4:00 the lick :D
he does it a few times
@666patrickbateman666 What does Britney Spears have to do with cubicles? Or amazing time sense for that matter 0_O
RAW!!!
We don't talk about 3:57
I wish I could see Eddie’s right hand a little more clearly. Really nice percussive playing
@Barış Mert Peker thanks
@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)
Because this, is, Mich 😊
who is thhe pianist I gotta look him up.
try this tune with brazilian players marcelo bastos jazz quartet...
🤯
please upload this in better quality!
un mostro
Steve Gadd
in 2:59 a beautiful phrase but completely out of chord (is in F- going to D-7b5 and G7) . I think it was a awesome mistake; then he has a reaction tipically of when something is wrong. this demonstrate that is human ja ja.
G7 flat 9
Pierre Veniot no mistake there...
I am not a musician but that doesn't sound like a mistake to me.
+Carlos Campos a mistake in a solo is playing something you did not intend to play. thats the only way to make a mistake in music.
I agree with that , well, you are in brecker´s mind? I´m not. I suppose that he was wrong. See his reaction after the phrase. I know that he often play outside notes, but the end of this phrase es completely out of chord,,,He can´t tell us the thruth of this...
3:59 the lickk
insane as usual
2:57 the lick!
Vaya marciano el tío!
0:35 ouch
Holy ****
@mobiusII he is the beast of my ears!! but what are doing police? ha ha
I like Steve Gadd but this recording quality makes the drums sound horrible to my ear. I think it's the poor quality maybe? Sorry
Eddie Gomez on Bass...
Pianist is Mark Gray I think.
Brecker is for saxophone what Liszt is for the piano. 🎉❤
