Michael Brecker Group, BJD 1987, Bratislava, Michael Brecker: Tenor/EWI Mike Stern: Guitar Joey Calderazzo: Piano/Keyboards Adam Nussbaum: Drums Jeff Andrews: Bass
I was there..... The best concert I've ever seen in my life live. After the concert, half the audience remained seated with open eyes and mouth in shock. It was really amazing lineup.

Jeff Andrews always had one of my favorite Fender tones. Tremendous player. And this lineup was just scary good. I had the good fortune of seeing him play a few times in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s. He was always RIGHT THERE with his incredible pocket. I wish more people knew of him.

Mike Stern sure can tear it up. Few genuine jazz guitarists have his rock feel. I saw him a few years earlier with Miles Davis doubling with John Scofield. I didn't need a haircut that month!

Definitely agree. On Mike Stern studio albums, he plays like a groove oriented studio guy. Live, he’s completely on fire. Just like Stern. He’s a great soloist as well. Check out this bands version of Straight No Chaser on KZitem. Ridiculously good phrasing and technique. Jeff Andrews is a monster

Yup. If I remember correctly he's on my favorite recorded Stern tune from the Brecker album Don't Try This At Home. The tune is Suspone and is basically this band I think. Andrews plays this pedal thing through Calderazzo's first through the form that really just makes it. Always loved that. Great stuff.

I like how he turned what was termed a rhythm or country guitar (Fender Telecaster) into a rock machine. Nice lead work there.

If anything is said about a Tele is that it can do anything. Also, he uses a Seymour Duncan humbucker as his neck pickup (what he uses for almost everything, certainly this solo), not really Tele. :)

Saw Brecker in Phila. several years ago and it was , I believe the first tour / introduction of the EWI.....I recall the highs pierced my eardrums bordering on discomfort and the lows were vibrating my ribcage more than any electric bassist I'd ever seen....haha still loved it ! But put a woodwind in this man's hands and he was dangerous....He left us alot of excellent material but just like all the greats , I miss what could have been.

Michael Brecker, he always had the best notes, him and his brother had a way of phrasing and Michael is one of those talents if you were lucky enough to have heard him play when he was alive makes you crave for more of this., There will never be another Michael Brecker. Sadly, but we can thank God for having been blessed with hearing his genius. Jazz in Heaven?, you bet there is!!
