"I have been so fortunate to have been turned onto Jazz while in high school during the 70's. It was the time when so called fusion and jazz rock took the world by storm. It was also during a time when you can get into bars without being id'd and when the drinking age in NYC was 18. The jazz club scene was hot and the cover to get into the jazz clubs in the village were almost all free. I was so lucky to be turned onto the Breckers back then because they owned a club called "Seventh Avenue South" where they booked jazz and jazz fusion bands. Obviously the Breckers themselves played their frequently. This was a club where about 8 bandmembers where tightly squeezed together on a stage that was level with the floor! I saw the Breckers with Will Lee, Steve Gadd, Hiram Bullock or Steve Kahn, Paul Shafer on keyboards. They cooked. Their solos were out of this world! I was so saddened to hear about Michael. What a loss of a great legend. I recommend all of their recordings. The interplay between both brothers was incomparable and cant be duplicated."
