OT: Michael Brecker Memorial

I attended Michael Brecker's memorial at Town Hall in NYC last night. It was truly a moving evening with heartfelt performances by his brother Randy,
Jeff 'Tain' Watts, Dave Liebman, Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJonette and Paul Simon.

There was also a video tribute from James Taylor. Everyone spoke eloquently including Michael's wife Susan and son Sam. They remembered a kind gentle soul whose awesome ability and humble attitude shaped the whole jazz world, and was taken much to soon.

Michael left a great legacy for us all through his actions and his music.

I will miss him.

Steve
