Michael Brecker Quintet,Mike Mainieri/Canada 2001

This night, Michael’s quartet was joined by Mike Mainieri, an old friend from the Steps era, and it was the best stage ever. Magazines at the time said it was a Steps Ahead reunion? It is also famous for being made a fuss about. The two old friends played like fish out of water, delivering an emotional play full of jazz feeling and putting on a spectacular performance with a splendid ensemble. The backing is backed by Joey Calderazzo on the piano, the well-known James Zinas on the bass, and Jeff Watts on the drums, who were good friends with Michael. What’s more, it records the sound source broadcast on the British national broadcaster BBC, and fans will be happy to know that the quality is such that it can be released as an official edition with a belt attached. You can enjoy the best performance with the best sound quality!
