Ode to a Tenor Titan

After John Coltrane, there was no more revered and profoundly influential saxophonist on the planet than Michael Brecker. For those coming of age in the 1970s, during that transitional decade when the boundaries between rock and jazz had begun to blur, Brecker stood as a transcendent figure.

Dupa John Coltrane, nu a existat un saxofonist mai venerat si mai profund influent pe planeta decat Michael Brecker. Pentru cei care au crescut in anii 1970, in acel deceniu de tranzitie cand granitele dintre rock si jazz incepusera sa se estompeze, Brecker a reprezentat o figura transcendenta.
