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.
