Excellent player and role model for the youngest children to the eldest that can play. The high notes are what’s what has always held me back! I haven’t played the trumpet in 35 years. My wife just bought me a trumpet and I play like crap. I’m disabled and I have all the time in the world to practice! Pray I don’t get frustrated and put it in the trash. I am no 56 years old.

I played at a festival Randy was playing at years ago, it was chaotic but he played great. I was struck by two things:he's a clever man and he has great concentration.

Randy is one of the greats. Wonderful masterclass. Thanks Randy and NTC.

I am always  so impressed by these giants who are still willing to teach and share their knowledge with young players! Thanks for everything, Mr Brecker!

good to hear that he also uses "TV time" to play along and practice ;-)

'listen from the bottom up' SO well put! SO glad I got to finally see him live with Billy Cobham last year!

I love Randy Brecker!

25:40 minor pentatonic

What a man. Thanks for posting guys!

Randy is one of my inspirations to play jazz. For all the influences he mentions, he really caught my ear with his unique lines and phasing. How often do we hear that the master players grew up in a musical environment? It helps.

wow, what a fantastic man !

A great guy,thks.

Great book!

Thank You for reminding sunnymoon for 2.

Words of wisdom from one of the last few true icons of jazz trumpeter's, after Woody Shaw there's not many cats left that I respect and Randy is definitely one of them.  Having lived most of my life in Philadelphia what he's saying is so true. Just to show you the state of spirituality in this world today ,with all the  crap garbage music that's out there nowadays, here's one of the greatest trumpet players that ever walked on the planet ,he forgot more than I'll ever know and this videos only got 379 views in 3 years ,just goes to show you where people's heads are at nowadays.

Here's a link to Adam O'Farrill , that Randy remembers at 50:00:https://youtu.be/Y32PPeiLVB4

25:55 Marsalis level trumpet player...he's like the Einstein of the trumpet :p

Looks like Francis Ford Coppola.

Me gustaría que tocara como lo hizo con Caifanes en "La célula que explota"
