Brecker Brothers
In the early 1970s, he performed in an acoustic guitar duo with Larry Coryell and was a member of the Brecker Brothers band. As a session musician, he appeared on albums by Ashford &amp; Simpson, Rupert Holmes, Billy Joel, and Steely Dan. He was signed to Columbia Records through the efforts of Bobby Colomby and Bob James. On his first three albums "Tightrope" (1977), "The Blue Man" (1978), and "Arrows" (1979), he was trying "to single-handledly keep alive the sound of the original Brecker Brothers band." His next album was "Evidence" (1980), which contained an eighteen-minute medley of songs by Thelonious Monk.
