the sound of listening (stylised in lowercase) sees the acclaimed drummer Mark Guiliana alongside his long-time quartet of Shai Maestro, Jason Rigby and Chris Morrissey, exploring a number of different styles via vignette-style pieces that cover minimalism, electronica and post-bop; speaking to Guiliana's versatile nature.

Available as a 2-CD set or individually on vinyl, this live recording is taken from 18th October 1987, the first time the Brecker brothers had played on-stage together with their own bands. Randy's more straight-ahead band contrasts neatly with Michael's more experimental ensemble, with both brothers engaging in a little friendly rivalry trying to out-do each other.
