'''Michael Brecker''' ([[WordPress:March 29]], [[WordPress:1949]] – [[WordPress:January 13]], [[WordPress:2007]]) was an [[WordPress:United States|American]] [[WordPress:jazz]] [[WordPress:saxophonist]] and [[WordPress:composer]]. Acknowledged as "a quiet, gentle musician widely regarded as the most influential tenor saxophonist since [[WordPress:John Coltrane]],"<ref>http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_6010731</ref> he won 15 [[WordPress:Grammys]] as both performer and composer and was inducted into ''Down Beat's'' [[WordPress:Down Beat|Jazz Hall of Fame]] in 2007.

==Biography==
Born in [[WordPress:Philadelphia]], [[WordPress:Pennsylvania]] and raised in Cheltenham Township, a local suburb, Michael Brecker was exposed to [[WordPress:jazz]] at an early age by his father, an amateur jazz pianist. He grew up a part of the generation of jazz musicians who saw [[WordPress:rock music]] not as the enemy but as a viable musical option; Brecker began studying [[WordPress:clarinet]], then moved to [[WordPress:alto saxophone]] in school, eventually settling on the [[WordPress:tenor saxophone]] as his primary instrument. He graduated from Cheltenham High School in 1967 and after only a year at [[WordPress:Indiana University Bloomington|Indiana University]], Michael Brecker moved to [[WordPress:New York City]] in 1970 where he carved out a niche for himself as a dynamic and exciting jazz soloist. He first made his mark at age 21 as a member of the jazz/rock band [[WordPress:Dreams (band)|Dreams]]—a band that included his older brother [[WordPress:Randy Brecker|Randy]], [[WordPress:trombonist]] [[WordPress:Barry Rogers]], drummer [[WordPress:Billy Cobham]], Jeff Kent and Doug Lubahn. Dreams was short-lived, lasting only a year, but influential (Miles Davis was seen at some gigs prior to his recording "Jack Johnson").{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

Most of Brecker's early work is marked by an approach informed as much by rock guitar as by R&B saxophone. After Dreams, he worked with [[WordPress:Horace Silver]] and then [[WordPress:Billy Cobham]] before once again teaming up with his brother Randy to form the Brecker Brothers Band. The band followed jazz-rock trends of the time, but with more attention to structured arrangements, a heavier backbeat, and a stronger rock influence. The band stayed together from 1975–1982 with consistent success and musicality.

During his career, he was in great demand as a soloist and sideman. He performed with bands which spanned from mainstream jazz to mainstream rock. Altogether, he appeared on over 700 albums, either as a band member or a guest soloist. He put his stamp on numerous pop and rock recordings as a soloist. His featured guest solos with [[WordPress:James Taylor]] and [[WordPress:Paul Simon]] are excellent examples from this body of work. For example, on James Taylor's 1972 album, ''[[WordPress:One Man Dog]]'', Brecker's solo on the track "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" complements the other acoustic instruments and sparse vocal. Also, on Paul Simon's 1975 album ''[[WordPress:Still Crazy After All These Years]]'', Brecker's solo on the title track is used to a similar effect. His solos are often placed in the bridge, or appended as a coda. This musical structure and instrumentation typifies (and somewhat defines) this jazz-rock fusion style. Other notable collaborations in this genre include work with [[WordPress:Steely Dan]], [[WordPress:Lou Reed]], [[WordPress:Donald Fagen]], [[WordPress:Dire Straits]], [[WordPress:Joni Mitchell]], [[WordPress:Eric Clapton]], [[WordPress:Aerosmith]], [[WordPress:Frank Sinatra]], [[WordPress:Frank Zappa]], [[WordPress:Bruce Springsteen]], and [[WordPress:Parliament-Funkadelic]].

Brecker also recorded or performed with leading jazz figures during his era, including [[WordPress:Herbie Hancock]], [[WordPress:Chick Corea]], [[WordPress:Chet Baker]], [[WordPress:George Benson]], [[WordPress:Quincy Jones]], [[WordPress:Charles Mingus]], [[WordPress:Jaco Pastorius]], [[WordPress:McCoy Tyner]], [[WordPress:Pat Metheny]], [[WordPress:Elvin Jones]], [[WordPress:Claus Ogerman]], and many others.

During the early 1980s, he was also a member of NBC’s [[WordPress:Saturday Night Live]] band. Brecker can be seen in the background sporting shades during [[WordPress:Eddie Murphy]]’s [[WordPress:James Brown]] parody.

After a stint co-leading the all-star group [[WordPress:Steps Ahead]] with [[WordPress:Mike Mainieri]], Brecker finally recorded a solo album in 1987. That eponymously titled debut album marked his return to a more traditional jazz setting, highlighting his compositional talents and featuring the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument), which Brecker had previously played with Steps Ahead. He continued to record albums as a leader throughout the 1990s and 2000s, winning multiple [[WordPress:Grammy Award]]s. His solo and group tours consistently sold out top jazz venues in major cities worldwide.

He went on tour in 2001 with a collaborative group, Hancock - Brecker - [[WordPress:Roy Hargrove| Hargrove ]]. This tour was dedicated to jazz pioneers John Coltrane and [[WordPress:Miles Davis]]. Brecker paid homage to Coltrane by performing Coltrane's signature piece, [[WordPress:Naima]]. This composition is a definitive work for tenor sax; its demanding solo enabled Brecker to show his complete mastery of the instrument. The live concert CD from the tour, ''Directions in Music'', won a [[WordPress:Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group| Grammy]] in 2003.

While performing at the [[WordPress:Mount Fuji Jazz Festival]] in 2004 , Brecker noticed a sharp pain in his back. Shortly thereafter in 2005, he was diagnosed with the blood disorder [[WordPress:myelodysplastic syndrome]] (MDS). Despite a widely-publicized worldwide search, Brecker was unable to find a matching stem cell donor. In late 2005, he was the recipient of an experimental partial matching stem cell transplant. By late 2006 he appeared to be recovering, but the experiment proved not to be a cure. He made his final public performance on June 23rd 2006, playing with [[WordPress:Herbie Hancock]] at [[WordPress:Carnegie Hall]].

On [[WordPress:January 13]], [[WordPress:2007]], Michael Brecker died from complications of [[WordPress:leukemia]] in [[WordPress:New York City]]. His funeral was held on [[WordPress:January 15]], [[WordPress:2007]] in [[WordPress:Hastings-on-Hudson]], NY.

On [[WordPress:February 11]], [[WordPress:2007]], Michael Brecker was awarded two posthumous [[WordPress:Grammy award]]s for his involvement on his brother Randy's 2005 album ''[[WordPress:Some Skunk Funk]]''.

On [[WordPress:May 22]], [[WordPress:2007]], his final recording, ''Pilgrimage'', was released receiving a good critical response. It was recorded in August 2006 with [[WordPress:Pat Metheny]] on guitar, [[WordPress:John Patitucci]] on bass, [[WordPress:Jack DeJohnette]] on drums and [[WordPress:Herbie Hancock]] and [[WordPress:Brad Mehldau]] on piano. Brecker was critically ill when it was recorded but the other musicians involved praised the standard of his musicianship.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/02/arts/music/02brec.html?_r=1&ref=arts&oref=slogin ''New York Times'' "A Jazzman’s Farewell Album, All Heart and Soul" [[WordPress:June 2]], [[WordPress:2007]]]</ref> Brecker was again posthumously nominated and subsequently awarded two additional Grammy Awards for this album in the categories of [[WordPress:Best Jazz Instrumental Solo]] and [[WordPress:Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group|Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group]], bringing his Grammy total to 15.

During his career, Brecker played a [[WordPress:Selmer Mark VI]] tenor saxophone using a highly-customized Dave Guardala mouthpiece. Previously, he had played a Selmer Super Balanced Action saxophone.
