Sadly, Michael Brecker passed away in 2007. Hard to believe it's been that long. Had the privilege of meeting him once.
Oleg does a great job on tenor here. Playing a Guardala mouthpiece, like Brecker.
I debuted my Guardala at the 1986 Savannah Jazz Festival.
Brecker Brothers were a jazz music duo consisting of Michael Brecker and Randy Brecker. Michael played saxophone, flute, and EWI, and Randy played trumpet and flugelhorn.
Randy, the older brother, became famous as an original member of the group Blood, Sweat & Tears. He appeared on their debut album Child Is Father to the Man in 1968.
So this is a cover song of the original by the Brecker Brothers, called East River and it is being performed by a group of people from Russia calling themselves Leonid & Friends.
