Randy Brecker
Born:
Jazz trumpeter and composer Randy Brecker has helped shape the sound of jazz, R&B and rock for more than four decades. His trumpet and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide range of artists from James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Parliament/Funkadelic to Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, Jaco Pastorius and Frank Zappa.

He attended Indiana University from 1963-66 studying with Bill Adam, David Baker and Jerry Coker and later moved to New York where he landed gigs with such prominent bands as Clark Terry’s Big Bad Band, the Duke Pearson Big Band and the Thad Jones Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra.
Jimmy Haslip: Amperes Beyond The BASSics, Part 1
by Jim Worsley
The name Jimmy Haslip needs no introduction. So, he doesn't get one. Seriously, we had a lot of ground to cover and he had so many great stories and interesting asides to share that we are breaking the interview into two parts as it is. So, without further ado... All About Jazz: I ...
New Bojaira: Zorongo Blu
by Angelo Leonardi
La relazione tra jazz e flamenco ha avuto varie declinazioni. Eccettuando gli estemporanei antecedenti di Miles Davis e di John Coltrane, il primo a inaugurare proficuamente la sintesi è stato Pedro Iturralde nel 1967 con Flamenco Jazz: un condiviso impianto modale legava la chitarra di Paco De Lucia ad assoli di vari jazzmen (tra cui il ...

John Kelman's Best Releases of 2019
by John Kelman
Well, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome continues to be a challenge, as it has been since mid-2014. 2019 represents, in fact, the worst year when it comes to the actual number of articles written. Still, I've been finding an increasingly satisfying niche in the arena of in-depth, detailed and extensive/exhaustive (exhausting, for you as much as I!!) articles. ...
Randy Brecker: Rocks
by Angelo Leonardi
A 73 anni Randy Brecker rilegge il repertorio dei Brecker Brothers con l'esuberanza di quando ne aveva trenta. Il risultato è un album ricco di tensione, pur senza la presenza del grande Michael, scomparso dodici anni fa. Il coinvolgimento di quella perfetta macchina di suoni che è la NDR Big Band e la presenza dei sassofonisti ...
Ada Rovatti: True Artist
by R.J. DeLuke
For Ada Rovatti, a saxophonist whose musical journey took her from her homeland of Italy, then inevitably to the United States, the road taken has not always been easy. A bright and sensitive artist, she can have misgivings about her work at times. But that work, with other bands or the leading voice on ...

Solo in Bonn is Bodurov's second solo recording, coming ...
Randy Brecker & Ada Rovatti: Brecker Plays Rovatti: Sacred Bond

Jackie and Roy Krall, Louis Prima and Keely Smith, Marian and Jimmy McParland--all musically fruitful jazz marriages. The progression continues with Sacred Bond from trumpeter, Randy Brecker and saxophonist spouse Ada Rovatti. In some of the aforementioned cases, specifically Jackie and Roy, the duo are stylistically tied at the hip. Here, the respective styles of Brecker ...
