[Robert DeLong]

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.

I guess I wasn’t real clear. I wasn’t familiar with the Brecker Brothers or this song.

Leonid and Friends have recorded a bunch of covers from Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, Blood Sweat and Tears and the Ides of March.

They’ve done two US tours. We saw them in Annapolis, MD last year and can’t wait for this COVID insanity to end to catch them again.

Check out the rest of their playlist. I recommend starting with Question 67 and 68.
