Brecker

It made me sad today to learn that Michael Brecker died last month from leukemia. I saw him perform with Herbie Hancock, Roy Hardgrove, Brian Blade, and John Patatuchi in a tribute tour for John Coltrane and Miles Davis. He played “Naima” unaccompanied. He was a great musician.

:( We also said goodbye to James Brown recently. Sad. I’ve never seen Brecker perform, but I have see Herbie Hancock; it was a wonderful show.
