		Randy Brecker is a veteran of some of he best bands of the last thirty years including "Blood, Sweat and Tears," "Dreams," "Brecker Brothers," and the bands of Art Blakey, Horace Silver, and Charles Mingus.
		Brecker's hard-edged style has echoes of Miles Davis and Clifford Brown, but his primary influence is Freddie Hubbard.
		Brecker relies heavily on pentatonic scales and fourths, and while his playing is usually punchy and funky, he frequently plays outside of the time with ripping lines that have a rhythmic energy and logic that defies the tyranny of the beat and bar line.

	CD Review of Randy Brecker - Score on Koch Jazz @ jazzreview.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The title track is a funker from the pen of Galper that bears the influence of one of Randy’s employers at the time, Blood, Sweat and Tears.
		The rhythm section lays out for “The Weasel Goes to Lunch,” in which Randy and Michael peck extemporaneously at “Pop Goes the Weasel.” “Morning Song” follows, and is a nice bossa groove with some 60s jazz kicks and harmonies.
		Randy demonstrates his mastery of motivic development on this tune and “Pipe Dream.” The band funks out once again with “The Vamp,” a nod to the Isley Brothers’ “It’s Your Thing.” “The Marble Sea” is a Randy Brecker bossa that highlights his lyricism.
