Tod Dickow and Charged Particles with special guest, Randy Brecker, at Loft 129

Multi-GRAMMY winner trumpeter Randy Brecker makes a rare California appearance playing the acoustic jazz compositions of his late brother, saxophonist Michael Brecker, with Bay Area superstar saxophonist Tod Dickow and the trio Charged Particles. This concert will celebrate Michael’s repertoire originally written for quartet, rearranged to add Randy. Jazz Life magazine called Tod Dickow “one of the best saxophonists in the world”. And the quartet’s recording of these Brecker compositions was named among the best jazz CDs of 2021 by numerous publications. Nippertown Magazine said the quartet’s performance at the Albany Riverfront Jazz Festival was “often thrilling” and “the peak set of the day”. And the Oxford Times said their performance at the Spin Jazz Club was “brilliant”.
