Biography

"Following a Michael Brecker solo is like nothing else that I have ever experienced, and very few musicians on any instrument can do it. It's because he's deep! By the time he gets done with an audience, people are standing on their chairs screaming. He gets to people under their skin, and that's what makes him heavy."

- Pat Metheny in DownBeat

There is no living tenor saxophonist more imitated than… Read more in Amazon's Michael Brecker Store

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest saxophonist I've ever heard., November 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Try This at Home (Audio CD)
I play the sax, and this guy has intrigued me since the first time I heard him. This album is by far Brecker's greatest, as he flirts with fusion, funk, yet displays his softer, more melodic side. Track number one is one challenging song to play along with, but probably the most entertaining to listen to. If you're looking to hear someone who has mastered the sax, I highly recommend getting this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous...A must for all jazz lovers., September 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Try This at Home (Audio CD)
This album is by far Michael Breckers best album. It ranges from lush, beautiful sounds, all the way to great funk/fusion. I love this album, and I guarantee that you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars {{{--(°°°Pure Music°°°)--}}}, June 30, 2009
This review is from: Don't Try This at Home (Audio CD)
As the title says, it's not an album everyone can do unless you practice at least 8 hours a day with all your heart. As usual, here are wonderful stories in tremendous swing from the great Michael. In fact EVERY album with Mike is a jewel. Listen to Coltrane and Bird will feed your heart too.
