On, Two Blocks from the Edge, tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker's prowess as an improviser. His work has never sounded so playful - or offered such a keen take on the intellectual side of soloing.
Two Blocks from the Edge is a portrait of rapport, an illustration of the deep exchange that's possible when a team spends time aligning their strengths. "This record is different," concurs Brecker, "and that’s largely because this is the first time I've made an album after playing the material live with my band." |
