“The kind of pivotal role played by Bird in bebop, or Miles in modal improvisation, is similar to that played by the Breckers vis a vis jazz-funk” – Chuck Berg, Jazz Times
The Brecker Brothers Project presented the incredible music of the seminal 70’s fusion band formed by Randy and Michael Brecker. Like it’s namesake, the Project is a veritable “Super-Band” of Valley virtuosos. Expect to hear Brecker classics like; Some Skunk Funk, African Skies, Sponge, Grease Piece, King Of The Lobby, Funky Sea Funky Dew and many others. This was a a night to be remembered at Thge Nash Jazz Club.
On the day: Bruce Gates - trumpet, Paul Brewer - alto sax, Adam Roberts - tenor sax, Nick Manson - keyboards, Jeff Lauffer - guitar, Mike King - bass, John Lewis - drums, and Joe Garcia - percussion. The best live jazz photography by Joseph Berg.
