Hey.... I was watching this video and I don't know who the tenor player is by looking at him (and I'm not 100% sure by listening either). Can anyone identify this dude from the attached picture?
If it's someone really obvious, please don't make fun of me. At first I thought it might be Michael Brecker, but I find it hard to believe he ever looked like that.
Thanks.

Thanks! The video in question is with Jaco Pastorius and a big band in 1982. Randy Brecker is also on stage, at least I'm pretty sure he is. The tenor solo is incredible, though....

I spent a lot of time with the EASTERN REBELLION records back in the 80s; Cedar, Sam Jones.....

Bottom line...what a nice choice...both Bobs play(ed) their a$$es off. |
