Encore Presentation: Randy Brecker - Trumpet Colossus: Blood Sweat And Tears; The Brecker Brothers. Clapton, Aretha, Elton, Springsteen, Tina, Carly, Chaka, Yoko, Liza, Bette And Many More!
Episode Notes
This is an Encore Presentation of my January 2024 interview with Randy Brecker, one of the greatest trumpet players of this generation. His incredible work runs the gamut from Blood Sweat & Tears, where he was an original member, to The Brecker Brothers, the band that he formed with his brother Michael, to his work with a Who’s Who of artists including these one-name wonders: Clapton, Springsteen, Elton, Aretha, Tina, Bette, Chaka, Carly and Jaco. And he’s a 6x Grammy winner.
My featured song is “Child’s Play” from my “lost” 1994 debut album called Miles Behind. Spotify link.
