Free Music Review: In memoriam!
Hit: 5 Stars
The last January 13th marked the second anniversary of the sad departure of Michael Brecker, one of the maximum exponents of the jazz ever born. His never ending musical talent, as well his personal tonal register became him a cult reference.
I had the enviable privilege to watch him in Caracas in 2000, thanks to the auspice of the VAC (Venezuelan American Center) with Joe Calderazzo at the piano.
This album was recorded as his posthumous legacy and the level of expression that features it, once more carved in relief his extraordinary musical gifts.
In memoriam!
Pilgrimage Poster
Clocking in at nearly 80 minutes, this posthumous release comprises the last recordings Michael Brecker made before his untimely death in January 2007. Battling the debilitating effects of leukemia, he sought comfort, strength, and transcendence through music. The all-star lineup on Pilgrimage, which includes Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Pat Metheny, Jack DeJohnette, and John Patitucci, has worked in various combinations over the past four decades. Here, they perform with the compelling group interplay of a longstanding ensemble. Brecker's nine compositions mark the first time he made an album solely of his own material. This is further testament to the creative drive that helped sustain him during his physical decline. From balladry to classic post-bop reveries, Brecker has fashioned one of his finest albums, and certainly his most personal work. The disc closes with the title track, which was also--fittingly--the last number he recorded. Never maudlin, this music and these fine musicians celebrate the power of music to connect human beings to one another, note by note, measure by measure. --David GreenbergerJazz Music CDs
