Why This CD Matters
This was tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker’s first album as a leader, backed by a standout quintet: Pat Metheny on guitar, Kenny Kirkland on keyboards, Charlie Haden on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums. The group moves through challenging post-bop and fusion, with Brecker adding electronic wind instruments to his saxophone sound. This CD also includes “My One And Only Love,” a bonus track not on the album or cassette editions.
Collector Note
This US MCA Impulse! CD reissue carries catalog number MCAD-5980 and adds “My One And Only Love” to the original six-track program. Released in 1987, it brings together seven tracks from sessions featuring Brecker with Metheny, Kirkland, Haden, and DeJohnette.
