A super heavyweight item from Michael Brecker. This is a live recording from the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2001, all of which are high quality soundboard recordings. You can enjoy live performances with different arrangements for five days from June 28th to July 2nd. Brecker is trusted by funk and rock musicians, but here he takes an overall jazz approach. Only the organ band arrangement on June 30th has a soul smell, but all of them are great performances where you can enjoy powerful blows. On the final day, Randy joins in and the Brecker Brothers come together for a grand finale. This is a highly recommended album with a volume of six discs, which is like a culmination of Michael Brecker's work in 2001.
