i had an audio tape of this performance at a time ...I listen to it thousands of time
Rip Gerald Stockton & Michael Brecker. I hope y'all got to do this again in Bebop Heaven.
Gerald Stockton passed? So sorry to hear that; I just googled him after seeing this incredible performance by a bassist I'd never heard of. Found nothing and came back and saw your comment.
@@roswellminard9350 He made a career dominantly of writing and producing commercial music for programs and ads all over the world. He did session work and local gigging in the DFW area. He immigrated to Texas from South Africa and to everyone’s surprise made it in the One O Clock having never touched an upright. He’s a legend to those that knew him.
@@Will_Rock Thank you!
Totally amazing....
27:57 just gonna shed on the drums rq
Thanks for sharing. So wild to experience this lecture almost 40 years later! I likely have a cassette somewhere of this. I recall greeting Michael at the airport when he arrived for this.
Thanks Pat! I still have vivid memories of playing your altered arrangement of "A Train" for Paris' arranging class. ;)
@@YoPaulieMusic great memory! I don't recall that. I still have my Stompin' at the Savoy the final one from that class.
@@YoPaulieMusic it strikes me now how humble and shy he is.
@@YoPaulieMusic Crazy he was 34 years old here! So young from now's prospective.
I was sitting right there NTSU 1984, unbelievable!!!!
Mikey is the man! Comes out and blows everybody’s hair back.
Ok
In the 80s this was..kool
now ,not so much 2023
Dawg… no. Your not much cool.
@@Will_Rock ‘You’re’ not ‘Your’Dawg … English grammar is a lot easier than music theory…
@@ChromaticHarp free your mind nerd.
Wow, that's quite an indictment of 2023! And of course, it's not true; perhaps you're projecting your own failings onto the current culture?
