Chromatic Enclosures Like Michael Brecker

When I hear Michael Brecker play I do not hear that many original bebop chromatic lines
What I do hear is this

That whole lick is of course great, but I am looking at the chromatics.


Towards the F in the 2nd bar Brecker will apply direct chromatics towards the target note

The bebop way would probably be using an enclosure like this
And it just sounds a bit less hip

Trying to place the chromatics as close to the target note as possible

The direct chromatic sound gives a more outside sound in the lines
You get chromatic note on the beat and chord notes on the o beats
