Join Tod Dickow & Charged Particles w/ Randy Brecker play Michael Brecker in the Birdland Theater on September 8th at 8:30pm!
The premier of new arrangements of Michael Brecker’s compositions, featuring trumpeter Randy Brecker, a quartet he called “a powerhouse”, and a saxophonist that Jazz Life Magazine called “one of the best in the world”

This special show features a quartet from San Francisco that Randy Brecker calls “smoking and intense”: tenor saxophonist Tod Dickow with Charged Particles: pianist Greg Sankovich, bassist Aaron Germain, and drummer Jon Krosnick.

With Randy joining the quartet as a special guest for the evening, the performance will premiere new arrangements of his brother Michael’s compositions that were played without trumpet on the quartet’s new record, “Live at the Baked Potato!” (Summit Records).

The show will be preceded by remarks from David Demsey, who runs the Michael Brecker Living Archives at William Patterson University and will receive a gift of thanks from Bill Milkowski, author of the liner notes of the Charged Particles CD and of the award-winning biography of Michael Brecker, entitled Ode to a Tenor Titan (Backbeat Books).

Some proceeds from the performance will be donated to the Michael Brecker Family Foundation, which focuses on blood cancer research and jazz scholarship. Please join us to support this wonderful cause.
