The Brecker Brothers - Live In Cleveland 1977 (Live) (2023)

With two Brecker Brothers albums under their belt Randy and little brother Mike were hitting their stride in 1977. In demand as jazz soloists and worked off their feet as the horn section on the burgeoning session scene, The Brecker Brothers band was their showcase and their recreation. With six albums for Arista records between 1975 and 1981, they had managed reasonable sales and even a couple of minor hits, but live performance was the optimal way to experience them. The band here are all heavy-rollers and core members of the close knit community of versatile jazz / rockers that shuttled between LA and NYC. Guitarist Steve Khan is on particularly fine form. Performed live at the Agora Ballroom, Cleveland, OH in 1977, for The New World Of Jazz radio show broadcast by WMMS-FM.
