Steve Jordan.... Woooh, great playing.
Michael Maineri tears it up on the vibraphone. Such a groovy sound!
OK y'all I was hangin hard at 7th Ave South in those days w/ Steve Jordan n all the cats.He was doin the Pearl tom Gretsch BD thing ala Gadd before Yamaha. Saw him play this kit many a night w/ the 24th St Band Mike brecker sittin in . You thought the club was going to explode they grooved so hard and deep .Great memories!!!!!!!!! My favorite Brecker Bros.era
DT-I remember those times well. I used to work there in the mid 80's but was going in there to see shows when I was technically a minor 17. Fantastic vibe many nights. Great memories and I just saw Randy Brecker last night with Stern at Iridium. He still sounds great as do they all.
Those Pearl toms (Pearl concert toms where customized by Frank Ippolito's Professional Percussion
Center in New York. Steve Gadd began the whole 8x10, 8x12, 14x14, 16x16 lay out, that is now considered the norm.) cut through the mix, with the Fiberglass over wood shells, they sound great, especially for the time period.
Steve Jordan was the other side of Gadd. They served the music well !!
Agreed man! That scene must have been deep...
J'avais le disque !!! Tony LEVIN ! STEVE JORDAN ! fantastique ce document !!! MERCI AMI !
I've had this album for YEARS and couldn't believe that people had no idea about it
I digitized it some time back and worked hard to keep the warm sound
early Breckers at their best
Absolutely!
T 11:17
Super
Super jazz
❤
Love this! I have this LP and CD! Jordan! Brecker! Levin!!!!!!!!
I have been looking for this video long time since they eliminated Michael's solo part for LP and CD. I called my friends in Europe and Japan to watch this video. Thank you so much!!!!!
***** Sorry for late reply. "Blue Montreux" composed by Mike Mainieri.
Classic young Steve Jordan on drums! This is a killer group!
MB sounds here exactly like 70s Henderson. From this recording you can really hear where he came from. Long live Michael Brecker!
I was there and I do have the CDs. Cool to see this again!
Bland det bästa inom jazz och blues.
Icon line up! Way ahead of their time! I saw this line up live in NYC (79) with Omar on drums. RIP Michael!
steve's tight kick and Tony's flow fretless Bass! so cooolll!
Not a fretless but yea is suck particulary in the tune call im sorry off this gig listen...
its a chapman stick (sold since 1974).
maybe one of the first recordings with this Instrument…
but for shure - one of the best
Boy I wish there was more video available from this concert. I believe this is the year they recorded the Atlantic Family Live record. That's one of my favorites, and Mike was absolutely smoking on Bahia, and Pick up The Pieces.
The whole show is up on TH-cam my guy th-cam.com/video/9-6XyJKVYRM/w-d-xo.html
Atlantic Family was 1977, Arista was 1978
I hung out hard at 7th ave south steve jordan time mike was always letting it loose all the way back then and that third set late at night was the doom!!
Thanks so much
Wauw! Is that really Steve Jordan on drums? Awesome! Amazing musicians. I’m a drummer but Michael Brecker is my favorite saxophone player (he played drums also).
Great line-up...Steve Jordan and Tony Levin on bass.
1978 wowwww thanks for sharing again Louis!!!
Steve Jordan on drums...very snappy !
my favorite version was the one played at the 1977 Montreaux Jazz Festival.
Thanks all of you
¡SUBLIME! Superclass...Muchas gracias
Steve Jordan bout solid as a fuckin rock for the whole damn set.
Friendly to great Steve Jordan ! Mr GROOVE ! (of fan : Didier D'agostino french drummer/composer /teacher ,video :shuffle fuunky groove on youtube )
Great clip! :)
Epic band and epic track. I have both albums from this concert Blue Montreux I & II. Fun fact: the horn pick-up line at 1:56 was repaired for the album release. This is one of those super rare occasions I've ever heard the B-Bros. play a wrong note. Compare it to the released version here th-cam.com/video/IzOvw1nGXrU/w-d-xo.html
懐かしく古い名曲。30年程前か。
Steve Jordan!!!!
Almost like Steps Ahead. Love it!
Nice. I bet these guys have to shorten their sets when playing at altitude. I can't imagine doing this for even a few minutes at sea level. :)
hier had ik vroeger een cassette van en ik zoek dit concert! heb jij dit helemaal louis
some of the best bass
Wow gotta comment again the pocket at the begining got me sweaty
Interesting at 9:04 there's an issue with the sound clipping...Randy looks to Mike "wow" and Mike just shakes his head. Probably because the gig was being recorded. They were still able to use it for the record, sounds great other than the mixing glitch or whatever that was.
Best of the best!!
سپاس بسیار خوب
Cool music.
The jam !
Wow - this is the same as the live record, right? I bought the ‘Blue Montreux’ record when it was new at the record store and listened to it over and over! I can’t remember if I knew about the Brecker Brothers yet, but I did know that Michael Brecker was the guy that played a really cool tenor solo on ‘Operator’ by Manhattan Transfer! ;^)
Not quite the same. Mike's solo is not on the album. Edited out.
@@ewi4000
OK, that makes sense. When listening to his solo I was not recognizing it. Apparently they also edited out a few reading mistakes. He actually made a few clams on entrances and at the ending. It's kinda nice to be reminded that Michael was actually human!
Thanks again for posting all these wonderful performances!
Correct!!
@@ewi4000 Interesting editing work. There are some mistakes on the head but Randy's solo seems to be the same included in the LP. Thanks for posting!
MUITO BOM.
GREAT
درود بر mike mainieri بزرگ وار
Hey Louis, any chance you have a recording of Brecker with Mike Manieri playing Flying Colors? It’s a live version and it’s got a crazy good piano solo but there’s a Version online but it cuts off before Mainieri’s solo. Just curious!
I will upload it eventually!
@@ewi4000 Please
@@ewi4000 I own this treasure since 1994, heard it very often during university times.
Now I found this… amazing. Thank you so much!
Would like to see more … especially from this recording.
Please upload!
اهورامزدا یاور داش mike
Super mais ça nous rassure de voir qu'ils (Les Brecker) ne sont pas à l'aise!C était peut être une des 1ères fois qu'ils jouaient ce titre sur scène ?
I agree. I think the song was played for the first time. Maybe one rehearsal.
i dont think so...
Lol! Brecker gets totally lost from 8:20 to 8:36. I wonder how many people in the World would notice or care? I think this is the first go at it. You see him trying to go over the chords through Randy's solo. A later, more developed one was put on the album, and it didn't have a tenor solo. Great post, thanks.
I don't think he's totally lost but I do think he's not really familiar with the tune. Both horns flub the melody at the beginning (1:56) and again at the end 10:26, 10:31, and 11:03. The album doesn't have a tenor solo but I'm pretty sure that Randy's solo here is what is on the LP. My memory of it could be off but I don't think so. Anyway, it's still a great band, great tune, and a great performance, however human it may be.
Not lost...hitting the changes
Brecker doesn’t get lost...you got lost
Nyan + I am with you ...
Steve Jordan?? Playing Gretch? Naw, Doesn't look like him or sound like him. More likely
Harvey Mason, who played with them and endorsed Gretch.
+UrbanFox Airsoft ...sure is Steve J. and he's probably using Steve Ferrone's kit; who was the 'House' drummer.
