Michael was at the top of his game here, his solo intro is basically "Hi, I'm Michael Brecker and I'm a bad ass. Any questions?" He was recording with some of the best out there and he simply crushed it. RIP my friend.
The trumpets really get to show up (and show off) on this, and sound so great, but here's a shout out to the trombones and woodwinds -- really wonderful ensemble playing through almost incomprehensible time signatures.
Michael Brecker (tenor sax), Jonathan Butler (vocals), Ronnie Cuber (baritone sax, bass clarinet, clarinet), Gloria Estefan (vocals), Bill Evans (tenor & soprano sax), John Patitucci (acoustic bass), Lee Ritenour (guitar), Arturo Sandoval (trumpet, flugelhorn), Jon Secada (vocals), Dave Valentin (flute), Dave Weckl (drums), George Young (piccolo)
The band is SMOKIN'!!!! Arturo Sandoval; anytime you are playing lead trumpet, I'm listening!!!!! Arrangements.....Lets go!!!!! Dave Grusin; beautiful writing!!!!
Best chart of any musical , jazzed up, so to speak.. that I have ever heard... Something's Coming is stunning.. this entire album remains one of my all time favorites.. Thanks for this..
Bellevue Junior High Jazz Band director , Memphis Tennesswee..The first tune he taught them was Mercy Mercy Mercy with Joe and Cannonball! He said, "We are NOT going to learn Mary Had A Little Lamb!!!
thank you SO much for sharing this video; D Grusin and M Brecker, two of the very best musicians of all times plus the music of West Side Story (Bernstein) are a delight. May I suggest also the rendition of O Peterson of this track and the whole album
Sat two feet away from Mr Peterson at Yoshi's in Oakland before he passed....one of the best days of my life! He played twice as much with his good hand as anybody else!!!

Oh my god. This record has always been one of my favorites of all time but holy crap, could the photography have been any worse than this? On top of the cameraman dropping the ball on people actually playing, the editing makes it even worse! They decided to cut away to the mixing console when Brecker started his solo? WHY? And when they finally did cut back to him playing, we get a shot from directly in front of him and zoomed in on his mouthpiece? Why not show him actually playing his instrument from the side a bit, or you know, zoom the camera out a little? Why am I so upset about this? I'm sorry, guys :(

These time signatures feel like rocket surgery.
