Tommy B with CCAB 1988

[Rhythmatist]

I haven't been on in awhile...I ran across this recently and thought I'd share. I don't recall seeing it up before. Tom Brechtlein with Chick and Pattitucci in 1988. An interesting version of Quartet 2 PartII that goes in a bit of a different direction and has Tom playing a very exciting solo. He's def one of the unsung "badasses." The link to the download is under the photo of the album cover where it says "1 Kommentare"

Love Tom. Some interesting ideas here (crap camera audio, unfortunately):

They've put some videos of Brechtlein with Chick on the Drummerworld website. Here they are:

Do you guys know if he was subbing for Weckl back then?

I set him up in clinic once. Super friendly. Sort of a collection agency vibe.

I think Gaddabout has a story about Tom doing an Al DiMeola impression...

Seeing Tom play in the clip above reminded me of my teacher, Paul Brochu. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think they share some qualities together. They both are tremendous players that's for sure.
