Randy Brecker

This recording came to fruition emanating from the marriage of two musicians, who not only have been sharing the stage for the last decade, but also share their personal lives and a daughter: Stella!

Legendary trumpet player Randy Brecker co-leads with saxophonist and composer/arranger Ada Rovatti featuring compositions and arrangements by Ada herself.

Ada and Randy‘s playing and interpretation almost incur a sixth sense, due to their closeness and compatibility delivering a fresh, unconventional and unique sound, harmonically and rhythmically challenging, but still very approachable without ever being clichéd.

This organic collection of compositions range from straight-ahead jazz to contemporary sounds and Brazilian beats, still keeping ‘the groove’ in their approach and thread throughout the recording.
