your kidding....this really is horrible,if you like the side men as well,try time is of the essence,take care.
Please excuse my ignorance, MDS is what?
Very sorry to hear he is ill, I love all the Brecker Brothers recordings since the mid 70's and I have much of Michael's solo work. Saw them twice, the return of the Brecker Brothers tour in 1993 or 1994, at the Bottom Line in the village.
Michael is the best of the best of the best....
Michael Brecker is one the greatest virtuosos to ever play the instrument. From a technical standpoint, what he does on the saxophone is truly amazing. He has also been the most influential and emulated contemporary, living tenor player over the last twenty five years. The term "Brecker-clone" is one heard countless times, in reference to a lot of the young players that have come out of the music conservatories over the last couple of decades. In addition, he is, in spite of his amazing ability, one of the most humble and sincere individuals one could ever meet.

We wish him all the best.
