Description

This signature Brecker tune was developed along with band mates Grolnick and Stern for the recording "Michael Brecker", his first release as a leader. His unaccompanied EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) performance that opens the tune is orchestrated in it's entirety for woodwinds first, with brass joining in. Features Tenor and Guitar. This energetic, gospel tinged tune expresses great joy. There is an optional "Super Charged" ending included that makes this chart a unique and exciting closer to a set or a concert.
