This Michael Brecker album will make your candle supper at the dessert moment with a digestive liquor an amazing hour...

It is not the most original Brecker album probably, just classic jazz, but this musician finger/brain gestures flow as calming water on stressed feet...Brecker play more effortlessly than any other sax player i ever listened to, this is why HE NEVER DID TOO MUCH FOR MAKING AN IMPRESSION as many others do but he manage to stay creative and surprizing in his phrases without overdoing anything ...

Charlie Haden play with Brecker : american dreams...

Trumpet is no more my favorite Jazz instrument with piano... Sax enter my heart not only my brain or body now... Brecker is without rival exactly as frogman said it was... It is unbelievable if we dont listen to him because there is very great sax players for me already...

Remember the non profit RIF (reading is fundamental) Organization. I remember the commercials on USA TV 50 years ago when I was 10. 

The organizations mission was that all children should be able to read.

50 years later Home | RIF.org

Watching documentaries and music videos is ok but if you really want to learn about a particular person, place or thing reading is the best way. Read reviews first to make sure the author has done proper research using primary sources. 

Schools still teach our children to read and write but at home this is not encouraged by the majority of households. By 10 years old most kids have a PC, smart phone and a TV in their bedrooms. I know a lot of adults that simply refuse to read.

I will continue with my book recommendations from time to time in the hope that maybe one of you will read at least one book about your favorite jazz artists.

Rant over.

Re; Michael Brecker Just listened to his Pilgrimage album. It truly is a masterpiece.
