The Brecker Brothers Some Skunk Funk Live at Leverkusener Jazztage 2003

The Brecker Brothers join forces for a set of mostly highpowered originals at a concert in 2003 Their postbop music is generally funky although Freefall is an uptempo cooker and sometimes a bit bombastic yet is never predictable Trumpeter Randy Brecker and tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker take many fiery solos while also sounding warm on ballads They are supported by a particularly strong rhythm section In addition the WDR Big Band contributes 14 horns and a guitar to accompany the core group
