Randy Brecker: Some Skunk Funk

Read "Some Skunk Funk" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Occasionally delving into something familiar and getting exactly what one expects can be safe and reassuring. One does not want to be surprised all the time, because adventure has its place--and so does a cozy everyday routine. This release by Randy Brecker, which is pleasant but lacks any surprises, feels exactly like going to your neighborhood ...

And if ever a band's repertoire was custom-made to be retrofitted with a larger horn section, it's that of the ...

Read "Randy Brecker: Some Skunk Funk & Soul Bop Band-Live" reviewed by Jim Santella
