The latest album from jazz musician Randy Brecker is dedicated to his brother, Mike Brecker, who died in 2007. Randy Brecker talks about how the desperate search to help his brother led him to explore his family history, and to create a very personal album. The World’s Alex Gallafent has the story.

    I was lucky enough to see Michael Brecker and his quartet 6 different times. I have seen over 300 concerts in my lifetime, and I count the Michael Brecker Quartet at the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival in Wilmington, DE, June 11th 2000 as the most exciting and wonderful performance I have ever experienced.
    In my opinion, Michael Brecker was the most sdvanced musician of his time, and certainly the best saxophonist of all time–yes, including Coltrane, Dolphy, Bird, etc. Listen to the album he recorded 3 weeks before he died called Pilgrimage…it is amazing. I truly miss Michael.
