Description
Jazz Trumpeter and composer Fred Jacob's website includes music, CDs, bio, reviews, teaching.
Fred Jacobs is a jazz trumpet player, arranger and composer, who has toured all over with some great jazz legends, including Lionel Hampton, Eddie Palmieri and Buddy Rich. His debut CD, Time Change, charted #22 with The Gavin Report and was an R&R 60% jazz breaker. His latest work in progress, Jacobs' Ladder, is due out soon ...
While a student at MIT, Jacobs got involved in music as much as math and sciences. As Herb Pomeroy, director of the MIT Jazz Big Band, remembers, "Fred's energy and drive was responsible for getting our band to [the] Montreux [Jazz Festival] that year he was band manager. And he played excellent trumpet all four years. His heart was into both aspects of the music."
"I always wanted to have a more creative lifestyle than an engineer sitting at a desk," says the trumpeter, who had no problem with the switch. "The mindset at work behind organizing music, mathematically and architecturally, is no mere left-brain, right-brain dichotomy" ...

He performed for seven U.S. Presidents, and was a Jazz Ambassador for State Department tours in the Middle East and Africa. More than fifty jazz festivals in all seven continents still feature him.

Trumpeter and Grammy award winner Randy Brecker's website features reviews, discography, sound bites, recordings, itinerary, biography , the Brecker Brothers, photogallery.
Randy Brecker has been shaping the sound of Jazz, R and B and Rock for more than three decades. His trumpet and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide range of artists from James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Chaka Khan, George Benson and Parliament-Funkadelics to Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, David Sanborn, Horace Silver, Jaco Pastorius and Frank Zappa.
Randy Brecker's history is as varied as it is distinguished. Born (1945) in Philadelphia to a piano-playing father, Randy spent summers in stage-band camps where he got his earliest experience in ensemble playing. He began playing RandB and funk in local bar bands while in his teens, but at the same time he had an ear for hard bop. "I'd listen to Sonny Rollins, Lee Morgan, Miles' Quintets, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, the Clifford Brown/Max Roach group" ...
ver the last three decades. Randy and Michael Brecker have carved out an indelible niche in the world of music. Hailed by pop and Jazz critics alike, The Brecker Brothers band they founded in 1975 was one of the first acts signed to the then-fledgling Arista Records. Recording six albums and garnering seven Grammy nominations from 1975-1982, the Brecker Brothers were a band of immeasurable influence and seminal in the birth of fusion. With Randy's virtuosic trumpet work and sense of composition [reflected in such classics as "Some Skunk Funk"] and Mike's burning saxophone and innovative work on the EWI, over the years the band attracted some of the finest players on the scene: Terry Bozzio, Hiram Bullock, Dennis Chambers, Steve Gadd, Don Grolnick. Steve Khan, Will Lee, Chris Parker, David Sanborn, Mike Stern, Luther Vandross, Dave Weckl, Lenny White - among others ...
