The Air Force Big Band meets Randy Brecker
- Wed 06.11.201919:00Tampere-talo, Yliopistonkatu 55 PL 16, 33100 TampereSoloist: Randy Brecker, trumpet Conductor: Juha Ketola
Six-time Grammy Award Winner, one of the biggest stars of the world of jazz, American trumpetist Randy Brecker will perform as the soloist of two of the Air Force Big Band’s concerts in November 2019.
Randy is definitely one the of the world’s biggest jazz starts today. Brecker’s career started towards the end of the 1960s when he played, among other things, in Clark Terry’s Big Band and the Thad Jones Jazz Orchestra. In 1967, he joined Blood, Sweat and Tears. Randy Brecker made his first solo album in 1968 on which his 19-years-old brother, saxophonist Michael Brecker also played.
In 1975, Randy and Michael set up the Brecker Brothers orchestra. Their first album included Randy’s future classic “Some Skunk Funk” that completely hit the jackpot. All in all, they released six albums during the years 1975-1981. At 73, going strong, Randy still tours around the world and makes albums.
In this concert, Randy Brecker will play not only his biggest hits, but also some of his less well known pieces. The concert promises a non-heard of collection ranging from Brecker Brothers music to Big Band classics.
Flying fast and high!
