In the '70s, brothers Michael and Randy Brecker co-led a band of New
York session big shots that included, at various times, David
Sanborn, Don Grolnick, Will Lee, and George Duke, among others. When
they chose, the Brecker Brothers Band could be one of the most
intelligent and creative fusion outfits. Chief composer/trumpeter
Randy's best tunes were structurally unpredictable, melodically
intricate, and harmonically complex, inside/out bop heads played in
an impossibly precise manner over a bed of funk rhythms. Unlike the
bulk of jazz-funk (then and now), the Breckers ù on their first
record, at least ù kept the pandering to a minimum. Though it had a
certain commercial appeal, 1975's Back to Back was an artistic
success as well. The Brothers' music was a smart combination of
extended pop forms, top-notch jazz improvisation, and sophisticated
compositional techniques. On later albums, the temptation to sell
lots of records apparently became too great to resist. Even the
otherwise excellent first record bore some marks of disco, and with
each subsequent album, the band's creative IQ shrank by several
points. Still, virtually every record had something of substance to
recommend it. In the early '90s, RCA issued a pair of compilation CDs
that combined the best of the band's purely instrumental, jazz-based
work. By 1982, the brothers had ceased working together, but did
reunite for touring and recording in the early '90s.
This is the debut from 1975. Enjoy.
