Goodbye to Michael Brecker

A sad day, last Saturday, with the passing of Tenor great Michael Brecker, and also Alice Coltrane on the same day. Michael Brecker was perhaps the greatest tenor sax player in the post-Coltrane era. His forceful tenor sound is heard on his own CD's and contributed to albums from many pop and jazz artists. Alice Coltrane brought an eastern spiritual element to works of her husband John's music, as well as her own fine recordings. We honor both with this radio broadcast and podcast.
