Michael's playing on McCoy Tyner's Infinity is simply amazing. His playing will truely be missed.
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.
