Why This CD Matters
Michael Brecker’s first large ensemble recording brings his tenor saxophone together with a 15-piece group arranged and conducted by Gil Goldstein. Brecker wrote most of the ten pieces, shaping the album as a suite that moves between chamber-like passages, jazz improvisation, and fusion. “Timbuktu” and “Never Alone” show two sides of that sound, with a wide palette of winds, strings, and rhythm section colors.
