Roppongi Pit Inn Tokyo, 1985 Transcription of choruses 1-8 are available at www.neffmusic.c.... Michael Brecker - Tenor Sax Steve Gadd - Drums Eddie Gomez - Bass Masahiko Satoh - Piano
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*
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!
@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.

So true, really few could keep up with his energy, like Mike Stern, Arturo Sandoval or Mike Manieri.
this gig was performed in Tokyo,Jazz Club Aoyama Body & Soul.
I was there.
Lucky you... 😱❤️
Did you get to speak to him afterwards?
Michael Breaker has departed physically but still resides in our midst Spiritually.
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
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!
Wow.
Despite the low quality footage, Brecker can still play like a god.
Michael goes in and out so easily and makes so much musical sense. It is just wonderful.
French journalistic criticism took thirty years to recognize Michael Brecker's exceptional qualities.
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!
RIP Michael Brecker thank you for changing my life
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.
Thank you for this. Just incredible endless energy. If he were a hunter, there would be nothing left alive. lol
you can really see there Henderson's influence on him
Indeed.
MY FIRST JAZZBOSSA SONG ON THE PIANO!!! The best version EVER!!!! jeaf!
Too sad that both Michael and Roppongi Pit-inn were gone. Wonderful play!
this proves rhythm and melody are king
And harmony is the mother of both 🎉🙏👍
@@DihelsonMendonca i respect it
What a Michael, what a solo, what licks
Brecker you BEAST! What a legend....
Awesome. Gomez, Brecker and Gadd. I’m in heaven😍
Sin comentarios por ser Michael Breker que se es una representación histórica del instrumento...
Great Brecker...along with Steve Gadd over playing everything...as usual!!!!
Blue Bossa disassembled.
*reassembled
Deconstructed

😂
Grazie Michael Brecker.❤
Thanks for sharing! So awesome… Those where the days!
Brecker's an all-time 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
Mean Man Mike, holy sheez! Nothing left unexplored.
Wow. I love this! Michael is the best! And an amazing band behind him!
Heh he looks like an office bum here xD "Hey guys, I just got back from working in the cubicle, let's play!"

Jeez he really knows Blue Bossa.
😂 🤣😭

Michael is THE man, period...
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.
Si Henderson es un ángel, Brecker es un mounstruo... cómo se puede improvisar tan bien!!! Que en paz descanse
Michael thanks simply fantastic O:-)
By the time he's finished, there's nothing left to do!!
History of Jazz - Master's! Soul!
he has heard & played this tune before it seems
holy shit how did I just now find this
The Excellent MVP is Satoh's piano in this youtube.
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
Excellent!
WOW.
Este tío es una makina buenisimo

5:35 the lick again!
Very good! This song is fantastic! I have the backing track for that song on my channel.
The lick on 2:56 and 3:58
Good!! Ufff!!
RAW!!!
The venue is not Roppongi Pit-inn but "Body and Soul", Aoyama Tokyo. It's for sure.
@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
Hearing 5:04 to 5:21 always makes me feel like i should just give up playing the sax....
Just waggle your fingers......
Steve Gadd
2:57 the lick!
I wish I could see Eddie’s right hand a little more clearly. Really nice percussive playing
The best sax player of the 20th century
You say this and your profile picture is of Sonny Rollins...
Because this, is, Mich 😊
Vaya marciano el tío!

insane as usual
He referenced the lick a couple of times 😂
its true what they say a master will make even a crappy instrument sound great, all thier instrum
3:58 THE LICK
@mobiusII he is the beast of my ears!! but what are doing police? ha ha
We don't talk about 3:57
