[Harp-L] Michael Brecker RIP

[Robert Paparozzi <chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today we mourn the loss of a great Musician in NY whose Music lives  
on in our hearts all around the world.

Harmonica Content:
In 1980 Harris Simon, Pianist and Diatonic Harmonicist recorded a  
record SWISH with Michael.

Michael did many record dates with Toots way too many to mention here

Last fall I was at a rehearsal studion in NYC and as I went to the  
bathroom down the hall I heard some sweet sounds, I peaked in a room  
and spied Michael with Pat Metheny, Gil Goldstein and Jack
De Johnette....they were workin on Brecker's new CD which I guess  
will soon be released what I heard that day sounded terrific!

Toots news:

Last week Chris M mentioned "Third Stone from the Sun" and I tabbed  
it out...here's a version by Bassist Jay Anderson and Toots is  
blowing over the changes!
