 Masterful August 25, 2007
What a legacy to leave us. If you have listened to Michael Brecker at all over the last 10 years then you need to buy this CD. It both sums up all that has gone before and tells us that there was so much more to come before Michael Brecker was taken from us at a much too early age. Wonderful ensemble playing and briliant extended solos that reference the past and point to the future.
Outstanding album August 23, 2007
Michael Brecker was surprisingly (given his illness) up to the task, and performs brilliantly. The writing is among his best, and he has a great group. Jack DeJohnette really drives the band, with great solos delivered by Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. Easily the most important album of the year.
Beautiful, Brilliant & Transcendent. August 17, 2007
This CD is amazing and captivating. Life breaths through. I hold out great hope that there will be a DVD companion to this CD: a making of. Thank You Michael Brecker for your wonderful gift.
Michael Brecker's final album is simply amazing. August 8, 2007
This is the final album by the late great Michael Brecker, and it does not disappoint! I'm not going to go off on an overly long tangent about how amazing this album is. I'm just going to say that the muscianship, song writing and overall groove of this album put it in the same class as such seminal albums as "Kind Of Blue", "Giant Steps", "Songs in The Key Of Life", "Birds Of Fire" and all the rest of the classics! If you like Jazz/Fusion that is devoid of gimmicks and mindless self indulgence then this album is for you.
PILGRIM'S REST July 30, 2007
What a bunch of fellow pilgrams to have on your journey Messrs. Metheny/Hancock/Mehldau/Patitucci/DeJohnette all of which feature often in my music collection. All playing Michael Brecker originals starting with the cross-rhythmic, freeform of 'The Mean Time, to the circular solo travels of 'Five Months From Midnight' and then to the pulsating 'Anagram' and I'm only to track 3. Great soloing from all concerned and a must have for your collection. Micheal Brecker was critically ill when he made this final recording before his untimely death in Jan-2007. Resting in the Reeds with Trane.
