About this album
Heavy Metal Be-Bop is a sharp, muscular fusion album that shows the Brecker Brothers turning hard bop technique into electrifying jazz-rock. Issued in 1978, it brings Michael Brecker’s searing saxophone and Randy Brecker’s incisive trumpet to material that balances sophistication with street-level groove. Built for the late-70s moment when jazz was absorbing funk, rock and studio polish, the album became a key statement of the brothers’ post-Jazz Crusaders identity. With highlights such as Some Skunk Funk and Funky Sea, Funky Dew, it remains one of their most celebrated and durable records.
