Score (Randy Brecker album)
Score is the debut album by American jazz trumpeter Randy Brecker recorded in 1969 and originally released on the Solid State label. Songs. The song "The Weasel Goes Out to Lunch" is an arrangement of the traditional song "Pop Goes the Weasel" but adapted with dissonant harmony suggesting a style of Avant-garde jazz inspired by the 1964 album "Out to Lunch!" by Eric Dolphy. Reception. The Allmusic review by Steve Loewy stated: "The tunes alternate between jazz-rock (a style the Brecker Brothers were later to successfully exploit) and modern mainstream jazz. There are the  customary fades, popular at the time, and a light, though constant, beat throughout that makes the music both accessible and even danceable, an impressive feat considering that virtually all the tunes are originals. ... With well-constructed arrangements, strong soloing, and catchy melodies, Brecker knew he was onto something, and this album was the first of several successful ventures". Track listing.
