your favorite michael brecker recording?

I was trying to buy some of Brecker's CDs and found nothing in Borders and nothing in Barnes and Noble. The only disc I have of his is "Don't try this at home". Was looking for a live recording. Will check out the discs mentioned here. Thanks for creating this thread! Michael Brecker was one of the best tenor sax players of all times.

that cool frogman thanks...neil larsens jungle fever brings back many memories of my musician days.yes that solo on last tango is smokin,nice works also come to mind on don grolnicks hearts and numbers....wow!

His work with Steve Kahn and those guys in the middle 70's was great....

Thank you so much for sharing Frogman.

Take care,
Tom

While not necessarily my favorite recording of Michael, in the wake of Michael's passing I recently pulled out an old DVD of a 1983 Steps Ahead concert the group did in Copenhagen. The group w/ him is stellar: Mike Mainieri on vibes, Eddie Gomez on bass, Peter Erskine on drums and a very young Eliane Elias on piano. I have all the Steps Ahead recordings and I still come back to their earlier (personnel) configuration...more organic in my opinion. Miss him. While I'm at it, did anyone out there ever catch Michael with the Jonathan Swift Alchemy band? This would have been late 70's, I believe. I can't remember the whole band, but Jaco Pastorius was playing bass, Peter Erskine on drums, and they had a fellow playing steel drums. What I wouldn't give to own a recording of that band!
