Release Notes:
Next to John Coltrane, Michael Brecker's career
spans more than three decades û and is
unquestionably one of the most influential tenor
players in the history of jazz. As a result of his
stylistic and harmonic innovations, he is the most
studied contemporary jazz musician in music schools
throughout the world today. Sadly, after a
two-and-a-half-year battle with myelodysplastic
syndrome (MDS) and leukemia, Brecker passed away on
January 13, 2007.
'Pilgrimage', chronicles Brecker's final journey û
one in which the music itself served as a sustaining
force. Those present in the studio recall moments
when the rigors of recording were so physically
taxing û nearly to the point of collapse û for the
leader whose health was compromised. In the end, it
was Brecker's sheer will, and a dedication to
completing the recording, that pushed him, his
colleagues and the project as a whole across the
finish line.
'Pilgrimage' is a singular phenomenon in the annals
of recorded music. It's a consummate creative
statement with a vision that speaks to us from a
place we can't comprehend. It's an invitation to
take the spiritual journey of an artist whose legacy
will outlast us all.
