I loved the work that he did on a few Billy Cobham LP's along with his brother Randy on trumpet. If you can find a good copy of Total Eclipse, Crosswinds or, A Funky Thide of Sings. These Billy Cobham records showcase the Brecker Brothers incredible talent. RIP.
Michael Brecker R.I.P.
Tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker died today of leukemia.
An incredibly talented musician, Michael was the most emulated tenor saxophonist of the last twenty five years or so. A great example of post-Coltrane tenor playing, he was arguably the greatest technician/virtuoso to ever play the instrument. He was also a very gentle soul.
He will be missed.
