Not sure if the musicians or the audience had more fun, but a good time was definitely had by all."

Charged Particles with Tod Dickow
Play the Music of Michael Brecker
"Veteran Bay Area trio Charged Particles, with Tod Dickow mightily added on tenor saxophone, present eight Michael Brecker originals, and one from Don Grolnick."
"Smoking and intense from beginning to end, they’ve all internalized Mike and his music to an impressive degree of accuracy and moreover: feeling!"
"I found myself pinching my arm to remind myself that Mike is sadly no longer with us. You find yourself jumping into Mike’s mindset listening to this CD and transported to another time. Take the journey and check out this live recording."
"Everyone is at the top of their Mike game!"
