"His crisp, clean trumpet sound and decidedly melodic approach combined to offer an entirely delightful musical expression that could well serve as a beacon for contemporary jazz." -- Los Angeles Times
"Brecker plays clearly and strongly throughout, with a tone and technique that few players can rival... "Randy Brecker, whose stellar resume spans decades, genres, and recordings with other fine European orchestras, is supremely on his game" -All About Jazz
Trumpeter, Randy Brecker is a clever scoundrel. He manages to play some of the most marketable easy- listening jazz in the world. But at the same time, he's also able to inject a considerable amount of depth and conviction into his music. The code word is excitement..."- New York Daily News
Nominated for Grammy Awards 2014
Five Time Grammy Award winner Randy Brecker is one of the most versatile trumpeters in the industry. Brecker's famed versatility lands him in both jazz and blues, along with R&B, funk and rock. Known as a founding member of the fusion supergroup Blood, Sweat & Tears, Brecker also teamed with his brother, the late saxophonist Michael Brecker, to tour and record, and he's been a sideman for Aerosmith, George Benson, Jaco Pastorius, Lou Reed and many more. His trumpet and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide range of artists from James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Chaka Khan, George Benson and Parliament-Funkadelics to Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, David Sanborn, Horace Silver, Jaco Pastorius and Frank Zappa.
The legend has played music practically since he could walk, and has been swinging audiences for over 40 years. He began playing R&B and funk in local bar bands while in his teens, and developed an ear for hard bop through his father's record collection. When he was just 22, he won the first International Jazz Competition in Vienna. He is perhaps best known as part of the duo The Brecker Brothers, a group he formed with his brother, late tenor sax player Michael Brecker.
Brecker's quest for musical excellence while constantly expanding his trumpet style and encyclopedic catalogue of compositions are unparalleled.
