The very productive brothers Michael Brecker (sax) and Randy Brecker (trumpet) made a whole lot of jazz/funk albums under the name "The Brecker Brothers". The Brecker Brothers (wikipedia) were a-list of studio session musicians in the 70's and 80's and also performed with their own bands. Michael Brecker is one of the most perfect saxophonists ever. Because he's so perfect it often seemed that Randy plays less good nd stands in the shadow but it must be stated differently.. Randy Brecker is one of the best trumpet players on this planet but Michael Brecker is one of the best in the universe. Music cannot be measured anyway. And who am I to measure it.. When I just started, Michael Brecker's playing really intimidated me for a long time, technical perfection plus amazing musicality. he really gets down and plays some gritty shit and one second later he plays 32th notes really fast.. As a human saxophone player you just kind of know that you will never be able to play that fast and sculpted. This album is produced by George Duke, Marcus Miller on bass, Steve Gadd on drums, power players united... Here's the opening tune:

This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.
