Brecker's best recent release,
By
This review is from: Tales From the Hudson (Audio CD)
Tales from the Hudson is the strongest of Breckers recent jazz releases, following a return to acoustic improvisation after ealier fusion releases with the Brecker Brothers. A modal jazz-fest, with admirable support from bassist Dave Holland, drummer Jack Dejohnette and percussionist Don Alias, the album is packed with great tunes including a passionate acoustic reworking of African Skies and Metheny's Song for Bilbao, both featuring McCoy Tyner.
You could criticise it though for being a light-weight production, heavier on lyricism than rhythmic and harmonic complexity, but complaining that the music is not challenging enough misses the point. This is simply a straight foward album of great jazz, and one that i'd happily recommend to both the casual listener and the jazz aficionado.

Truly NYC Club Jazz,
By Charles Grace (Minneapolis, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales From the Hudson (Audio CD)
If you never got the chance to experience '70s and '80s jazz club scene in NYC, then get this CD. You can almost taste the smoke and leather, although recorded/engin'd w/late 90s gear. Top notch horns by Michael Brecker (as always), piano by Joey Calerazzo and a cameo by Pat Metheny. Give it a listen. 15 bucks is not a bad cover charge for this, and you get to keep the CD.

Still one of my favorite Cds,
By Nikolaus Dolp (Austria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales From the Hudson (Audio CD)
This Cd is after all the years I own it, still one of my all time favorite Cds. "Tales from the Hudson" captures outstanding performances not only by Brecker himself, but also from the featured top-act musicians: Pat Metheney, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette ( smoking!), Joey Calderazzo and the great McCoy Tyner.
Great performances, compositions - hard swinging and lyrical! Get it!
