Kuten parhaat viinit, trumpetisti Randy Brecker vain paranee iän myötä.
Maaliskuussa UMOlla on kunnia saada vieraakseen tämä Grammy-palkittu trumpetisti, kun ruotsalainen säveltäjä, sovittaja ja kapellimestari Mats Holmquist saapuu legendan kanssa Valtakunnallisille puhallinpäiville Musiikkitaloon.
Breckerin ansioluettelo on pitkä ja vaikuttava. Muun muassa Horace Silverin ja Clark Terryn yhtyeissä soittanut trumpetisti tunnetaan erityisesti veljensä, saksofonisti Michaelin, kanssa perustamastaan Brecker Brothersista. Breckerin yli neljä vuosikymmentä kestäneen uran varrelle mahtuu lukemattomien jazzlevytysten lisäksi valtava määrä maailmankuulujen pop- ja rock-artistien levyille soitettuja raitoja. 71-vuotiaana edelleen aktiivisesti keikkaileva trumpettivirtuoosi nähtiin UMOn solistina viimeksi vuonna 2009.
Musiikkitalossa kuullaan konsertin kapellimestarina toimivan Holmquistin sävellyksiä ja sovituksia tämän levyiltä sekä muutamia uunituoreita ”minimalistisia” versioita jazzstandardeista.
Konsertin lisäksi UMO soittaa Randy Breckerin kanssa myös studiossa, jonne suunnataan Mats Holmquistin johdolla. Työnimellä Randy Brecker & Mats Holmquist meets UMO kulkevan levyn julkaisee levy-yhtiö Summit/MAMA. Ensimmäiset maistiaiset tulevan levyn materiaalista kuullaan Musiikkitalossa.
Konsertin kesto 75 minuuttia, ei väliaikaa.Liput: 42,50€ permanto, 30€ parvet, 15€ opiskelijat
