 Pilgrimage July 22, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
To me this was the farewell recording of Michael Brecker to the musicians he started the series of recordings with, from "Two Blocks from the Edge" to "Don't Try This at Home", " Now You See It...Now You Don't", "Time Is Of The Essence" and many more. I have listened to the above mentioned CD's but this has an impact on my listening to MB, he allows a free space for one to realize his ability to improvise. With a pianist like Herbie Hancock, he is able to explore different sounds and exercises. John Patittuci is one of my favorite bassists, he has a strong sound that sometimes confuses his acoustic bass with an electric. Pat Matheny has a unique sound that brings sweet harmonies to this CD. I have always listened to Brad Mehldau accompanying Joshua Redman, he is one pianist that would let you listen to his solos time and again. I have always admired Jack Dejohnette's drumming from early recordings of Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" to Charles Lloyd's "Forest Flower", here with Pat, reminds me of Pat Matheny 's 80/81 CD which also features Michael Brecker and Dewey Redman on tenor Saxophones. I give this CD four stars.

This is a fitting tribute to a great artist. As someone else said, "It softens the blow".

The great music on this cd helps soften the blow of losing such a talented saxophonist as Michael Brecker. The musicicians play as if they knew this would probably be his last cd, and unfortunately it was.
Michael Brecker's Best Ever. July 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I think other reviewers have said it better than I could when it comes to Michael Brecker's final album "Pilgrimage" so, I'll be brief. This is his best album ever. The playing as well as the musicianship between Brecker and his all-star line-up of Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, John Patitucci and Brad Mehldau is stellar on every track here. There isn't one weak track recorded here.
"Pilgrimage" features his best playing and his best compositions - truly a testament and high mark in the legacy of this respected sax player. If you don't believe me, read the other reviews here and then buy this CD.
An Instant Classic for 2007.
Rest in Peace, Michael.
