This video blows my mind every single time since years. I think it's a prime exemple of a band playing to perfection. Brecker just melts everything, Alphonso Johnson completely funks the place up, Robben Ford and George Duke are extra extra tight, and Erskine just lays down the bombastic New Orleans beats like nobody's business. Each fill, phrasing and musical idea instantly connects to another and the whole band is in the "zone" at the same time. Incredible.

Been a Brecker head since high school in 1998. This is my favorite solo of his. Raw power, raw youth, raw funk, raw love, pure technique.

I really agree with you. It was listening to Michael Brecker's tenor sax on "Sofa" from Frank Zappa's "Zappa In New York" that inspired me to take up the tenor sax in the first place. The man had real chops. And blow by blow among the best of the 20th century!

Gosh, Michael sounds just incredible, isn't he? I remember this was from "Aurex Jazz Festival" in Tokyo in the late 70's or early 80's. Aurex was an audio brand under Toshiba, and they organized the jazz festival for a few years, I remember. Obviously this take must have been televised in Japan, and also was included in an Aurex Jazz Festival LP, which I listened a lot. I think Benny Goodman also performed. The band swings so hard, and a credit for Randy for his incredible compositions!
