When you have Michael Brecker vibing to your solo

Imagine having to play a solo AFTER Michael Brecker... the least favorite position in jazz sax history, but make sure you'd do it like Seamus Blake here. What an incredible virtuose solo in a very own and authentic way here on "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" live in Japan at the madarao jazz fest 99.

And check out much more music from @seamusblake

Imagine having to solo after Michael Brecker, what a daunting place to find yourself in! I remember watching this video at first and really liking Michael Brecker his solo, but then seeing what Seamus Blake played next was even to that a refereshing different approach. As far as I know, Michael Brecker is usually pretty stoic when it comes to reacting to other solos on stage, but he surely was really digging this. Way to go Seamus!

Make sure you check out Seamus his albums, there is incredible music by his hand, both in terms of saxophone and compositionwise. Back in my Conservatory days I've listenend a lot to his "Stranger Things Have Happened" album and I've always found his soprano sound concept super nice.

Let me know what you think,

His playing with the rhythm section is so freaking amazing. They jive perfectly together, constantly call and answer - gosh, I could listen to this all day
