Michael brecker was a living and walking improv genius. "There is no treacherous position in jazz other than being the guy standing on the band stand who has to take a solo after Michael brecker" -pat Metheny

So true, really few could keep up with his energy, like Mike Stern, Arturo Sandoval or Mike Manieri.

this gig was performed in Tokyo,Jazz Club Aoyama Body & Soul. I was there.

Did you get to speak to him afterwards?

Why is it when I try to play 'outside' it sounds outside. And when Michael Brecker does it, it just sounds like music. RIP MB

Michael Breaker has departed physically but still resides in our midst Spiritually.

He just never ran out of ideas. Yeah, there's the occasional repeat but man, 5 minutes of soloing over a remedial standard and mostly one new idea after another!

RIP Michael Brecker thank you for changing my life

In un solo pezzo ha suonato tutta la storia del Jazz e ne ha inventato di nuovo...ancora oggi è avanti a tutti di 100 anni.

Thank you for this. Just incredible endless energy. If he were a hunter, there would be nothing left alive. lol

French journalistic criticism took thirty years to recognize Michael Brecker's exceptional qualities.

@Carlos Schvartzman by balancing in playing and outplaying while using target tones he masterfully can play anything over the chages. he also takes rhythmic consonance into consideration in his manipulations of time and balances rhythmic conconance and dissonance. brilliant. melodic development is something he uses frequently as welll.

Awesome. Gomez, Brecker and Gadd. I’m in heaven😍

Heh he looks like an office bum here xD "Hey guys, I just got back from working in the cubicle, let's play!" *distorts time and space to achieve amazing time and melodic lines*

Brecker's an all-time great!

Thanks for sharing! So awesome… Those where the days!

that's obvious :) I think it make the same effect even to lots of better saxophone player than me (I play alto and clarinet) - even if this isn't my favourite style his command of the instrument (and his value as an artist) is unbelievable.

Nowadays, Pat Bartley from the J-music ensemble is quite capable. Not really in the same style as Brecker but still an amazing saxophonist

Si Henderson es un ángel, Brecker es un mounstruo... cómo se puede improvisar tan bien!!! Que en paz descanse

Michael is THE man, period...

Michaels sarcasm to play the head a half step lower is hilarious. What a smart ass. Can you imagine how sick he was of "Blue Bossa" the wedding jazz theme!

The Excellent MVP is Satoh's piano in this youtube.

Michael thanks simply fantastic O:-)

By the time he's finished, there's nothing left to do!!

The lick on 2:56 and 3:58
