Anyone remember...    
...The Brecker Brothers? Featuring siblings Randy (trumpet) & Michael (sax) Some Skunk Funk Sneakin' Up Behind You Night Flight What Can A Miracle Do? (co-written by Luther Vandross) Squids ????? Just started relistening to Heavy Metal Be-Bop (a live NYC concert)... East River Inside Out Some Skunk Funk Sponge Funky Sea, Funky Dew Squids ...are the featured selections. Over the years, the band featured (on record or live) a number of top end NYC (and elsewhere) studio cats... Will Lee Ralph MacDonald Harvey Mason David Sanborn Steve Kahn Terry Bozzio Patti Austin Luther Vandross D.J. Rogers Steve Gadd Hiram Bullock Don Grolnick Lou Marini Lenny White Barry Finnerty Paul Schaeffer George Duke Marcus Miller David Spinozza Paulinho Da Costa Airto Moreira Dennis Chambers Mike Stern Steve Jordan ...playing the kind of high energy, super improvisation, horn-led FUNK you just don't hear anymore.

That 1975 album, Back to Back is probably the first place I heard a Luther Vandross composition, that tune, "What Can A Miracle Do"(co-written with Don Grolnick)...I've since heard other people cover the song (Cuba Gooding, Sr., of the Main Ingredient, for one), but I always wondered why Luther never recorded it himself (or never released it, anyway)..... BTW, What did you think of their 1994 album, "Out of the Loop"? That one's still a favorite of mine....

... What Can A Miracle Do is a sweet piece. Heard When It Was on Planet Jazz (one of the Sirius stations on my Dish Network system. Got sucked into the groovy rhythm guitar part and made a mental note to find what album it was on. Listening now. 
Lemme spin it a few times before I give you an answer. I'm also curious about...  
...these two. tA Tribal Disorder

...these two. I dug Return of The Brecker Brothers, though I like "Loop" better...I haven't checked out "Score" yet..... ... [Edited 12/29/06 12:54pm] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |
