zzMN Orchestra features Jazz Trumpet Legend Randy Brecker

Please join the JazzMN Orchestra, Minnesota's premier 17-piece classic-to-contemporary jazz ensemble for a night featuring jazz trumpet legend Randy Brecker. Details & Tickets: http://www.jazzmn.org/events/tickets.php

This highly-decorated (five Grammy awards, countless more nominations) trumpeter is also one of jazz's great innovators, equally fluent in both the bebop and fusion genres.

Known for his jazz fusion stints with Billy Cobham, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and in the Brecker Brothers with brother Michael, Randy Brecker's tones have also graced many rock and pop albums, including those of James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Steely Dan.
