    I saw Brecker play one of his weirdest shows in 1987. It was at a Japanese Restaurant/Jazz Club called Yoshis in Berkeley, CA. He played half the show on a Yamaha EWEE midi Saxophone controller. He was so far ahead of his time playing a one man show by triggering loop tracks he created live on stage to play along to. It was an amazing performance.

      I saw Michael Brecker, in the Brecker Brothers band, in the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Hague, Netherlands, back in 1980, and he was already using electronics in a brilliant way at the time. The concert was filmed live and parts of it can be found on UA-cam.

    Every time I hear a Brecker solo I feel short of breath. He was the greatest! And fortunately I have seen it many times. With this formation a few days before at Umbria Jazz. 5 amazing musicians

    Jeff Andrews is perhaps the least known and most underrated bassist. What a genius he was. May he rest in peace.
    Phenomenal gig man. Probably together with Chick Coreas Blue Note Tokyo 1992 the most intense gigs.

    • @GwcMuso
      @GwcMuso Рік тому

      Agreed on both points. I understand he is probably the least known on the video, but I am surprised there is so little love for him on this thread. He's playing great on this gig (as always...). A very talented musician. R.I.P.

    • @RonMazasco
      @RonMazasco Рік тому

      Definitely not underrated by me or my collegues bassists. I rate his solo's as the highest in storytelling; I saw him play live a couple of times I am happy to say. He is much missed indeed.

      I really wish the Scofield trio with Nussbaum had recorded and gigged more. Totally timeless music, and apparently Sco couldn't get bookings for that group. I envy you that you got to see them live. The Club Vielharmonie gigs in Munich that were released as Out like a Light and Shinola are some of my favorite music ever.

    • @fibboobbif
      @fibboobbif 3 роки тому +1

      @@zenobardot That exactly was the concerts i have been at... You can hear one of my friends on the recording ;-) Jazztimes writes about Steve Swallow saiing: “The audience at the Vielharmonie was young, beer-drinking, pot-smoking, balls-to-the-wall, and the trio’s music was a part of that milieu. Audiences in jazz clubs in the U.S.A. had become more sedate and elderly, though no less fond of getting snockered. The music on the two CDs from ’81 recalls for me a place as well as a time, and reminds me how much fun can be had with a musical instrument.”
