Artist:Herbie Hancock/Michael Brecker/Roy Hargrove
Song:D Trane
Album:Directions In Music:Live At Massey Hall
To celebrate the 75th birthdays of Miles Davis & John Coltrane in 2001, jazz keyboard legend Herbie Hancock put together a jazz superstar tour as a tribute somewhat similar to his VSOP group of the 80s & Tribute To Miles Davis group in the 90s. Mike Brecker has always sounded a lot like Coltrane on tenor sax and Hargrove sounds great on trumpet but imagine if Hancock had gotten Wallace Roney on trumpet like the Tribute To Miles Davis group. Roney really sounds like Davis. Geez, that would have been eerie. Round it out with John Patitucci on bass & Brian Blade on drums and this is a killer band by anyone's standards. This CD was recorded live at Massey Hall right here in Toronto and D Trane is a great performance of a Mike Brecker original. Herbie didn't mess around and did this right. Mike Brecker is a tremendous musician.
