Album 365: Day 107 - Brecker Brothers - Heavy Metal Be-bop

The Brecker Brothers
Heavy Metal Be-Bop
1978














Favorite tracks: Some Skunk Funk, Sponge, Squids
Sleeper tracks: East River

I read about this album in a Modern Drummer interview with Terry Bozzio.  I went out and found the record and listened to it a few times (this was back in 94 or 95), not really getting into it as much as I thought I would.

Fast forward 10 years and I went through a spell where I loved listening to the album while riding the bus.  I came to appreciate the Brecker brothers for pretty awesome horn players and band leaders.  And yes, Bozzio's drumming is quite bitchin' on this record.
