James - Pat Metheny Group

Incredible tune with Pat Metheny, Christian McBride, Antonio Sanchez, and Michael Brecker. A unique melody that hasn't been overplayed and which you might not recognize... unless of course you own the Pat Metheny song book!

Brecker Schaeffer Leaving My Troubles Behind - 1987

Thanks to Charles McNeal there is a solo transcription of this song available on his site charlesmcneal.com. I highly recommend you check this site out. He's done a lot of good work on it. I'm not going to post the link here, because I think anyone who wants it should go through him since he did a lot of work to get it.

Brecker Brothers Live In Barcelona - Some Skunk Funk

Now here's a song which is always taken faster live. Listen to the recording and then this and you'll find there is a huge difference. And the great part is that there are even faster shows than this on YouTube.

So why did I pick this one, you ask? The reason is because I found Michael's solo especially killin' and I definitely was buying everything he was playing. Once you watch the video, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Definitely one of the best run-throughs of this song I've heard. Enjoy!
