Artist:Michael Brecker
Song:My Ship
Album:The Nearness Of You:The Ballad Book
Michael Brecker is one of the most popular jazz musicians today. His sax playing is very much influenced by Coltrane. For years he played in bands with his trumpeter older brother Randy Brecker including the very successful Brecker Bros. band. He also played tons of sessions. He finally recorded his first solo recording in 1988 and has been very successful ever since. The Nearness of You was released in 2001 and includes Herbie Hancock on piano, Pat Metheny on guitar, Charlie Haden on bass & Jack DeJohnette on drums. Needless to say, it's a great band. All Mike's records are worth checking out. Some recent health problems resulted in Mike getting an experimental transplant from his daughter. Here's hoping he makes a full recovery.
