Morning Edition had a nice piece about Michael Brecker this morning: Brecker’s ‘Pilgrimage’ a Welcome, Not a Farewell: “Musicians list the components of Brecker’s signature sound: His rich tone. His fluid and lyrical flow. His recent growth as a composer. On Michael Brecker’s musical farewell, one can hear all these things. What you can’t hear is a sense of goodbye — Pilgrimage stands as one of the most energetic and welcoming albums of his career.”
