Imagine having to solo after Michael Brecker, what a daunting place to find yourself in! I remember watching this video at first and really liking Michael Brecker his solo, but then seeing what Seamus Blake played next was even to that a refereshing different approach. As far as I know, Michael Brecker is usually pretty stoic when it comes to reacting to other solos on stage, but he surely was really digging this. Way to go Seamus! Make sure you check out Seamus his albums, there is incredible music by his hand, both in terms of saxophone and compositionwise. Back in my Conservatory days I've listenend a lot to his "Stranger Things Have Happened" album and I've always found his soprano sound concept super nice. Let me know what you think, /Jorre
Seamus grew up in my city, Vancouver BC. I know his band teacher, and at 16 he was playing in the top big band ensemble in the jazz program at the university here. Yeah, at that age he was THAT good. It was insane.
His playing with the rhythm section is so freaking amazing. They jive perfectly together, constantly call and answer - gosh, I could listen to this all day
love this recording! sad the youtube recording on his channel ends before the end of the tune but both solos and the cadenza are awesome! i also transcribed a bit of seamus on this when i played it!

If you're a musician you don't think of that shit and just play
Muito bem.
How old is Seamus here? Stunning playing from one so young.
@@BrownmanAli29 years old. Not that young anymore.
Yes! Way to go Seamus!!
What a melodic and killing solo
Seamus Blake is very good at music
And you are very good at stating indisputable facts.
I went to Berklee with Seamus. Fantastic player.

Great solo! No one's gonna out-technique Brecker, so this melodic style is the only option.

Yooo I remember watching this clip years ago! You gotta be one bad cat to follow Brecker like that!
Amazing solo, glad you uploaded it!
Thanks man! You have done an amazing share of transcriptions as well, great to see
@@SharpElevenMusic Thank you❤️ Keep up the great work!

Amazing solo, by Seamus Blake.
Seamus had it going on very early. Killer
MAGICO !!!!!!!
Sick
Going to see Seamus tonight at SMALLS!
Killer solo
Got. Dayum.
Tarefa extremamente difícil! Ele aguentou a pressão e deu um show! Sensacional!!
The beginning of Seamus Blake's solo was very Ben Webster, which is a great contrast to Michael Brecker.
Damn, such an honor
Cool video.
now do breckers solo lol
Lucky bastard
while I can't play breckers's solos that guy is getting brecker himself to vibe to he's solo
Maravilha.
