]]> I’ve made earlier mention of the fact that Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, and Fred Wesley all are on Randy Brecker’s new CD, 34th N Lex. It gets better. Here’s the entire horn lineup on this powerful CD:

  • Randy Brecker: Trumpet, Fluegelhorn
  • Michael Brecker: Tenor Saxophone
  • David Sanborn: Alto Saxophone
  • Ronnie Cuber: Baritone Saxophone
  • Ada Rovatti: Tenor Saxophone
  • Fred Wesley: Trombone
  • Michael Davis: Trombone.

You’ll hear Cuber’s influence on the record right off the bat with the opening title track. Ada Rovatti, Randy’s wife, blows out the solo on “The Castle Rocks”. “The Fisherman” is a tribute to one of Randy’s close friends, Bob Berg, who tragically died in a car accident last December.

You’ll find a busy atmosphere on most of the 11 tracks, which is to be expected given the influence on Randy from living at 34th and Lexington in New York City for almost a decade.

]]> Bob BergSaxman Bob Berg has passed away. Bob was killed in an automobile accident on Thursday. He was 51. Throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, Bob played in bands with Horace Silver, Miles Davis, and Chick Corea among others. I’m guessing that others reading this have his early 90s, Grammy-nominated release Back Roads. I remember Bob’s strong tenor sound and am sorry to read this news.

Bob is survived by his wife, two children, brother, and mother. For more details, read the New York Times obituary.
