Description:
After John Coltrane, there was no more revered and profoundly influential saxophonist on the planet than Michael Brecker. For those coming of age in the 1970s, during that transitional decade when the boundaries between rock and jazz had begun to blur, Brecker stood as a transcendent figure.
Review Quotes: "Milkowski's book functions not only as a biography of Brecker, but also as a portrait of the expansive New York City jazz scene of the early to mid-1970s, when the music was moving in various directions at once, with some musicians taking multiple paths. The book is full of intimate observations that draw a colorful picture of a complex artist with issues he had to work through. This book provides an excellent introduction to Brecker and his times." --ARSC Journal
