His trumpet and fluge lhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide range of artis ts from James Taylor\, Bruce Springsteen and Parliament/Funkadelic to Fran k Sinatra\, Steely Dan\, Jaco Pastorius and Frank Zappa. Born in 1945 in P hiladelphia to a musical family\, Randy’s musical talent was nurtured fr om an early age. He attended Indiana University from 1963-66 studying with Bill Adam\, David Baker and Jerry Coker and later moved to New York where he landed gigs with such prominent bands as Clark Terry’s Big Bad Band\ , the Duke Pearson Big Band and the Thad Jones Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra. I n 1967\, Randy ventured into jazz-rock with the band Blood\, Sweat and Tea rs\, but left to join the Horace Silver Quintet. \n\nBrecker recorded his first solo album\, ‘Score’\, in 1968\, featuring a young\, then unkno wn 19 year-old tenor saxophonist named Michael Brecker. After Horace Silve r\, Randy joined Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers before teaming up with bro ther Michael\, Barry Rogers\, Billy Cobham\, and John Abercrombie to form the seminal fusion group ‘Dreams’.  By 1975\, Randy and Michael were ready to front their own group\, the Brecker Brothers Band.  A band of im measurable impact and influence\, they released six albums on Arista and g arnered seven Grammy nominations between 1975 and 1981. Their eponymous fi rst record\, which Randy wrote\, arranged and produced\, featured his now classic composition “Some Skunk Funk.” In 1992\, exactly ten years aft er they parted ways to pursue solo careers\, Randy and Michael reunited fo r a world tour and the triple-Grammy nominated GRP recording\, ‘The Retu rn of the Brecker Brothers’. \n \nA dual-disc release\, Randy’s newe st project will be released on September 25th\, 2013 on Piloo Records. Ran dy Brecker’s “Brecker Brothers Band Reunion” features a live DVD rec orded at the Blue Note in NYC bundled with a new 11-song studio recording featuring members of the Brecker Brothers bands from throughout the years including Dave Sanborn\, Mike Stern\, Will Lee\, and Dave Weckl. George Wh itty is back in the production and keyboard chair\, and Randy’s Italian wife Ada Rovatti is in the ‘hot saxophone’ seat\, keeping it in the fa mily on tenor and soprano saxophone. The new dual-disc recording will be r eleased in North America by Magenta/E-One\, in Europe by Moosicus Records in November and in Japan by JVC/Victor.
