Some Skunk Funk
Performer: Randy Brecker
Distributor: E1 Entertainment Notes: Though saxophonist Michael Brecker passed away in 2007, his brother, trumpeter Randy Brecker, keeps the jazz-funk fusion of the Brecker Brothers alive with the Brecker Brothers Reunion Band. While not a strict reunion of the original ensemble, the band does feature many of the players who have performed with the Brecker Brothers over the years, such as guitarist Mike Stern, drummer Dave Weckl, and keyboardist George Whitty, as well as new members including Italian saxophonist Ada Rovatti (Brecker's wife), and keyboardist Oli Rockberger. The band played several shows beginning in 2011, and in 2013 released this album, which also featured such former Brecker Brothers' associates as guitarists Dean Brown, Adam Rogers, and Mitch Stein, drummer Rodney Holmes, bassist Chris Minh Doky, and saxophonist David Sanborn. ~ Matt Collar
With a career spanning nearly 40 years, Philadelphia-born trumpeter Randy Brecker is one of America's few remaining journeyman musicians. He has appeared on over 100 albums, performing with everyone from Bruce Springsteen and Frank Zappa to Charles Mingus and Parliament-Funkadelic. A founding member of Blood, Sweat and Tears, Brecker also formed the renowned jazz/rock fusion combo the Brecker Brothers with his younger brother, tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker. The duo would garner seven Grammy nominations, winning twice. As a solo artist, Randy Brecker also won his first Grammy in 1998 with INTO THE SUN.
