Michael Brecker, Saxophonist Passes Away

Very sad to hear that one of my favorite jazz artists - Michael Brecker, passed away today at far too young an age. The Brecker Brother's "Heavy Metal Be-Bop" was one of the first "fusion" albums my brother and I ever heard, and since then us and our friends continued to dig up as much jazz and fusion as we could find - all branching off of the great band assembled on that album.

Thankfully Brecker continued to record at an astonishing rate, and his solo CD's are highlights in a career that has far too many sessions to list in this blog.

Thank you for all the music and rest in peace.
