Directions in Music Michael Brecker, Herbie Hancock, Roy Hargrove Directions in Music/MA,USA 2001

Even if you are a jazz fan and a contrarian, you can’t avoid the two major brands, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Currently, top-class brands that are no less than the two, Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove, John Patitucci, and Brian Blade, come together under the name of the group Directions in Music to perform the two’s numbers as a passionate homage to Miles and Coltrane. This is a two-disc set recorded in the highest quality sound at the 2001 Boston Symphony Hall performance. “Sorcerer,” “So What,” “Naima,” “Transition,” “My Ship,” and others, follow only the atmosphere of the originals, but the pride and dignity of the members’ originality is pushed to the forefront, and the new standard that goes beyond the brand is “Leave it to us,” making this a refreshing and recommended masterpiece!
